Johnson admits that his "unconditional war" against poverty, fueled with an appropriation of $784,200,000, is no more than a start, but at least it is something. "I have no illusions," he said, "that $1 billion or $10 billion will wipe out poverty. I don't expect to see it in my lifetime. But we can minimize it, moderate it, and in time eliminate it." Though his last request was cut by nearly $200 million, he may ask Congress for $2 billion...
...problems are as monumental as ever. Galloping population growth threatens to wipe out the hemisphere's slim, hard-won gains in housing, education, health, and food production.

And while the mother-to-be is taking it easy, she may do a little sunbathing, which stimulates her system to make still more vitamin D. It all adds up not only to a hefty dose of the vital vitamin but to some risk that...
...with a confident proposal to find and trim several hundred thousand dollars worth of waste effort. The prospect was warmly welcomed by Charles Staab, 60, the Enquirer's executive vice president and business manager, and something of a fat trimmer himself: eight years of Staab-inspired wow (for "Wipe Out Waste") campaigns have, among other-things, reduced the mail-room staff by introducing automation...
