...Task Force. Such summary police treatment, on the orders of Commissioner Kennedy, disturbs nonpolice agencies concerned with juvenile delinquency, has touched off in New York a battle of philosophies whose outcome may have as lasting effects on the city as the war of the streets. Kennedy's use-force orders draw cries of protest from social scientists. They point to increasing arrest rates in the 14 heavily policed high-hazard slum areas, where social agencies thought they had made headway with a gentler approach toward juveniles.

Khrushchev might hesitate to use military force against the Poles (who number 28 million against Hungary's 10 million), but he could well bring Poland to its knees in a matter of weeks by cutting off the raw materials on which the Polish economy depends.
