Systems Analysis. The HEW document joins the academic optimists who contend that the long-run benefits of better social calculation can be as immense as those of economic accounting. Already, the report says, tools are being developed for measuring such basic concerns as powerlessness, job satisfaction, freedom of expression, and even the obtuseness of bureaucrats. Eventually, these and other measures might make possible a hardheaded "systems analysis" of the efficacy of government programs...
...hopeful, however, is that Americans are already drawn, more than in the past, to Royce's vision of community and an end to the dehumanizing aspects of technological society. "A sense of community is not the only good," concludes a new study of U.S. life prepared under outgoing HEW Secretary Wilbur Cohen.

At present, HEW has 63 investigators in the South and only 40 in the rest of the country. By mid-January, the number outside...

The poverty program's effort to furnish legal aid to the poor may be assigned to the Justice Department. Nixon and Moynihan would also like to scrap the Job Corps, which they consider inefficient. But he would need congressional approval for such steps-sanction that would not be easily obtained...
