The rising cost of attendance in the United States is outpacing living expenses and threatens college access. Private colleges show a 42 percent price rise over a decade, public 30 percent, while living costs rose 19.4 percent. Federal funding aids exist but may shrink under a conservative Congress.

Analysis notes Nixon won the nomination with quiet resolve while Humphrey showed inner conflicts and overtalking. The piece questions Humphrey’s discipline and whether Nixon’s unseen inner power will shape him differently as president.
