...Trains. Visionary Stardust glittered from many of the President's other proposals. He wants a modest $20 million to study the possibility of a highspeed (200 m.p.h.) train between Washington and New York, and he will seek federal authority to control industrial air and water pollution. Both measures will probably pass easily. But he will find it harder to get funds to set up his suggested National Foundation for the Arts-if he really tries it.

The New York Central's profits soared 150% to $35 million, largely because of gains from its Flexi-Vans and triple-tiered auto-hauling carriages, which enabled the line to carry 900,000 autos last...
...city where other civil rights groups were already working, flew in for several weeks, fired up local Negroes to heated protests, and departed. Behind him, he leaves a few gains--integrated lunch counters and public buildings--and a lot of broken bones. There is no real attempt to train local leadership or to develop long-range programs...
