...part of the legislative college called the War on Poverty is a plan for VISTA, the Volunteers in Service to America. Administered by the new Office of Economic. Opportunity, VISTA, a domestic peace corps, will recruit, train, and support volunteer welfare workers, placing them in anti-poverty activities wherever their services are requested--at hospitals, schools, community action projects, and Indian reservations. About half of the 5000 volunteers anticipated during VISTA's first year will be assigned to state and local organizations.

From the street there appear to be nine stories, but the inside is shelved off into 36 different levels, with ceilings ranging from seven feet to 28 feet. Shunning sleek exterior finishes, Rudolph opted for corduroy-like concrete walls. To make them even...
...after the war. "On the contrary," said Home, it was "an act of power," and he was soon proved right. Home constantly reiterated that unless the government grasped the fact that "this country and Russia operate under two different sets of standards, there will stretch before us a long vista of political difficulties, misunderstandings and disillusions...
