...incredible year ended, to be sure, with a growing view that the worst is over, the raw angers of race and generations spent and replaced by a national readiness to begin anew.

...anew at crime by asking that federal law be brought into line with sociological and psychological thinking?not to mention the facts of life. It should also research better ways of handling such problems as drunkenness and drug addiction. Marijuana laws, in the eyes of many young people the worst example of hypocrisy and repression, should be reexamined, with more research provided on marijuana's long-term effects...
