What is needed, as Gardner sees it, is the development of an entirely new series of relationships in the name of "creative federalism." Already, he says, "the Federal Government has established a wide array of partnerships-not just with state governments, but also with local governments, with universities and hospitals, with voluntary agencies and professional associations, and with the whole of the business world." Under Medicare, an extraordinary partnership has been forged involving 6,750 hospitals, 2,500 nursing homes, 250,000 physicians, 107 Blue Cross and Blue Shield programs, 26 private insurance carriers, all 50 state health agencies...
Major Departure. When asked what he considers his chief accomplishment, Gardner places HEW's wide-reaching advances in civil rights at the top of the list. "For this nation, justice for the Negro is the social problem," he says, and his determination to attach tough guidelines to health and education programs is helping, however slowly, to solve it. It took a decade after the Supreme Court's 1954 school desegregation decision to get 2.5% of the Deep South's Negroes into previously all-white schools. Thanks to HEW's pressure, that figure soared...
...that end, they brought in 60 bulldozers to clear wide swatches of the jungle that served the Communists as cover. They confiscated tons of food and equipment, overran and demolished scores of V.C. installations, ranging from an underground hospital to a regimental base camp. They also decided upon a more drastic step: to raze all hamlets in the area, resettling the 8,000 or more inhabitants elsewhere, where the V.C. could no longer rely on them for information, food and shelter. The removal of the villagers will also make future identification easier: henceforth, anyone found there is almost bound...
...with the same snub-nosed design that has characterized the basic bug since 1948, the new 1200 is as much a throwback as an evolution. It has the same chrome trim and many, though not all, of the improvements built into the current 1300 and 1500 models, such as wide-track wheels and automatic choke. But the new car resurrects the pony 41-h.p. engine which VW dropped in 1965. It will hit 70 m.p.h., as against 78 m.p.h. for the 53-h.p. 1500, will cost a bare $1,121, compared with...
...Wilson Society was founded by President Goheen in 1959 because of pressure caused by the '58 scandal. Unlike the clubs, the Society is wide open. Anyone can join, and today there are close to 200 members. Juniors and seniors eat together in Wilcox Hall. Even freshmen and sophomores can join and take advantage of the club's extensive activities--concerts, film programs, playreadings, partying and speakers. The Society's members are far more active than club men, whose activities are limited to partying and eating...
