...long range, he urged innovation in social programs, including a total-and long-needed-restructuring of the archaic federal-state-local welfare complex. "Our studies," he said of the welfare field, "have demonstrated that tinkering with the present system is not enough. We need a complete reappraisal and redirection." One immediate measure to help the poor will be submitted to Congress this week, when Nixon will recommend that all those below the Government's poverty line ($3,300 for a family of four) be released from any obligation to pay federal income taxes. Many poor people now have...
...REVENUE SHARING. A proposal to divert part of the money collected by the Federal Government to local governments. Cities and states have long complained that the Federal Government takes so much of the total tax dollar (about two-thirds) that not enough is left for local needs...
Desertions Up. An attempt has even been made to unionize the military. The American Serviceman's Union was founded at Fort Sill, Okla., in 1967 by Pvt.

(total membership about 5,000) advocates a program that includes election of officers, an end to saluting, and recognition of the right to bargain collectively and disobey "illegal" orders...

They thus become less themselves--and, in a way, more abstract beings, whose forms echo those of other people. The firm identity that would result from...
...tension between what is similar and what is different. This tension is the basis of Sirk's whole drama, and it is in the drama of personal recognition. Characters see something of themselves in an object, but are confronted by the strength of what is unalterably different, unconquerable. Total control, complete realization of their wishes, is impossible. The existence of other people and objects imposes complex relationships upon all characters. In recognizing these relationships, expressed in visual echoing of their forms, characters come to know a little of themselves as they are assaulted with the impossibility of controlling anything else...
