Artful Whitewash. Public opinion, nonetheless, continued overwhelmingly to support Hoover's view, which in turn reflected precisely the thoughts of Chi cago Mayor Richard Daley. The Mayor last week kept up his own counterbarrage to the "distortions" of the news media by broadcasting an hour-long documentary over 150 television sta tions throughout...
Entitled "What Trees Do They Plant?" (meaning: "What constructive plans do protesters propose for the society of the future?"), the Daley defense was produced by Henry Ushijima, a California-born filmmaker who for five years has been paid by Chicago to turn out short documentaries celebrating the city.

Such a community would tend to have the same political beliefs as well because one's individual orientation towards one's fellow beings cannot help but influence...
...many people live in his house, or even how many children he has. It doesn't matter; it's obviously too many. Usually there are about 23 people--half of them Miller's children, the rest an assortment of relatives, neighbors, and "little fellers we just couldn't turn away"--living in the one-room house...
