...racial and urban crisis-Nixon has already failed his first test. The nation's blacks have been largely ignored, and the Administration has vacillated and backtracked on civil rights. While it has brought important court suits and cut off federal funds when necessary to enforce desegregation, its main thrust, in the proposed voting rights bill and school desegregation guidelines, has been to weaken the national commitment to end racial separatism.

Her acquisitive bent was well known, and since John Kennedy's death she has spent much time shopping, partying, lunching at chic restaurants and roaming the world in search of pleasure.

...continuing it for another half-year at 5%. The bill also eliminates the 7% tax credit for business investment. The committee vote of 16 to 9 was the result of prodding by Chairman Wilbur Mills, a Democrat, some nudging by John Byrnes, the ranking Republican, and a last-minute thrust by the President himself.
