President Johnson seeks substantial raises in Social Security payments and extends Medicare to about one million disabled people not yet eligible by age. He also wants higher earnings for workers who stay employed after retirement. The plan faces a $2.2 billion cost and potential tax increases, with debate over timing and economic impact before Congress.
The piece argues that education is a profession best run by trained professionals, not by parent voting on principals or teachers. It warns that allowing parents to discharge staff would destabilize schools and threaten curriculum integrity, risking removal of unpopular but necessary subjects.
In a strategic shift Governor Brown pivots from praising his record to portraying Reagan as inexperienced and in thrall to Birchers. The piece notes Brown’s focus on discrediting Reagan’s persona, highlighting Viet Nam anxieties, white backlash, and Berkeley appearances while Reagan counters with a moderated image and hits on Brown’s own politics.
In Washington the article argues discontent stems from more than racial tension, with crime, Vietnam, and cost of living driving backlash. It notes many undecided voters may back Republicans at the booth and emphasizes independent voters as the largest political bloc.
A reader argues a 40 cent weekly levy per homeowner, part of a November 8 vote, funds schools by shifting costs to business. The writer warns a no vote could save households but devastate school programs and salaries, urging Mrs. A G to consider long term impacts on education and children.
The piece notes a planned New Jersey fare increase set for July 1, suggesting New Yorkers will stay home for the Fourth. It cites a faded memory of a last autumn football star now weakened, and contrasts a statistic that only five percent of mosquitoes bite while bites from those who do bite are entirely effective.
A teenage girl writes a letter arguing Middletown needs a teen dance venue where youths can dress and dance freely, even smoke, with a youth board to set rules and hire bands. She notes adults misjudge teens and urges constructive activity rather than drinking. The letter links youth time use now to future outcomes.
William F Buckley Jr profiles Saul Alinsky as an influential Chicago organizer feared for undermining established order. He cites Alinsky’s tactics, portrays his Rochester stance, and warns that radical social reform risks deepening division and misery rather than aiding the poor.
Alinsky thrives on strife and irony, aiming to unsettle officials. In Chicago since 1960 he led the Woodlawn project challenging mayor, papers, and the University of Chicago. He used sit ins and deployed ministers to dodge police actions and exploit administrative congestion.
