...Nixon's proposal, in January 1971, the Federal Government would start sending tax money back to the states, with a mandatory amount "passed through" to the cities and localities. Few strings would be attached, and present grants for particular purposes would presumably be continued. Nixon also wants to turn many of the manpower-training responsibilities back to the states. Both these plans mesh with the welfare proposal, and Nixon recommended that they be considered as a group. A fourth part of the plan would take all operating authority away from the Office of Economic Opportunity. O.E.O. could then concentrate...
...thousands of clandestine leaflets, Czechoslovakia's resistance leaders are instructing their countrymen on how to observe the first anniversary of the Soviet invasion. Since an estimated 75,000 Soviet troops are still inside their country, the underground leaders have prudently counseled against massive demonstrations. Instead, they intend to turn the observance into a dignified national "day of shame...
Hail of Stones. Despite the underground call for a show of only passive resistance, there is a danger that the anniversary may turn into something considerably more violent. Potentially, it is the most explosive time in Czechoslovakia since the invasion itself. After the Moscow-dictated dismissal of the liberal Alexander Dubček last April, the nation gradually sank into the depths of despair and sullenness. The factory workers who a year ago volunteered for weekend "Dubček shifts" without pay, in order to boost production, are today blatantly loafing on the job and pilfering supplies. The slowdown...
...mine illness, even if it includes hospitalization, the physician tries hard to retain that role. By choosing someone his own age, to whom he has referred patients and who in turn has referred patients to him, he achieves a cozy sense of equality. If he knows the other physician socially, so much the better. If he has to be hospitalized, he shuns strange institutions where he would be just another patient and addressed as "Mr." rather than "Dr." He tries hard to obtain admission to his own hospital...
...protagonists are as painfully inarticulate as any western idol; their sluggishness of mind is of course intended to be read as sensitivity and moral integrity. Billy's even decked out in a fringed suede jacket, boots, and cowboy hat. The beautiful Southwest landscapes of photographer Laszlo Kovacs turn hostile each night around the campfire, where a lot of authentic marijuana dialogue goes on. Like Western heroes, they are isolated in travel from their natural environment; the trail lies on the landscape, but is never one with it; they are always just passing through. It's a good metaphor...
