...There, the Vice President had a point. Mrs. Graham is not inclined to install top editors who stray too far from her own liberal views. It was perhaps unfortunate for her that when Newsweek's Lester Bernstein commented on Agnew's speech over CBS radio in New York, he chose precisely the same words used by Mrs. Graham. But a partial contradiction of Agnew's charge of monolithism was produced by an issue close to Richard Nixon's heart. Last week the Post ran an editorial supporting Judge Haynsworth's elevation to the Supreme Court...
Agnew again zeroed in on a worthwhile subject when he turned to the diminishing newspaper competition in many American cities. With so many newspapers dying, he said, many of the survivors have "grown fat and irresponsible." True enough, although the New York Times is not a convincing example.

Moody of New York's Judson Memorial Church that has been copied-with modifications-by more than 100 community or state groups. Wherever new units are formed, the response is surprisingly strong. Four months ago, the Michigan ministers installed a telephone-answering service that was publicized in newspapers and through the highly efficient grapevine that connects women who have or have had unwanted pregnancies...
