The piece argues liberal education aims far beyond vocational training, seeking personal growth, critical thinking, and responsible citizenship. It cites the Rockefeller report urging students to see themselves as participants in a pivotal era.
Historian J H Plumb argues that losses such as the American Revolution and the Vietnam War can yield durable lessons. He cites Britain’s postwar reform of representation and related political shifts as a turning point, paralleling U S congressional reforms and conservative gains during the Vietnam era.
The piece argues the Democratic Party faces leadership gaps despite Kennedy as the favorite and Wallace drawing GOP-tinged resentment. It notes Kennedy’s refusal to run, Wallace’s appeal to discontent, and party rules that empower brokers, while acknowledging ongoing two party vitality.
The piece critiques an Interstate Commerce Commission plan to tap highway funds and electric bills for a 12 billion rail subsidy. It argues against broad federal intervention and subsidies, cites Amtrak deficits, and calls for a national rail plan by the U S Railway Association to be published and debated before long term financing.
