...York City is, among other things, a small welfare state. It carries no less than 500,000 people on its welfare rolls-a number roughly equal to the whole population of Denver-ranging from homeless children to the helpless aged to mothers of large broods with absent and often unknown fathers.

In two swift, silent shows of 1,400 hands, without a single dissent or abstention, the assemblage in the Kremlin ratified Nikita Khrushchev's dismissal by the party Presidium last October as First Party Secretary and Premier. But except for a change in style, the Khrushchev spirit was very much present...
