...safe delivery and healthy development of children. WIC was established in 1972 on a pilot basis, and made a national program in 1975. (Humphrey and the committee created the WIC legislation.) Only after pressure by the committee and subsequent court decisions did the Department of Agriculture begin to implement the program properly; the program still does not nearly reach all potential recipients. Next year, WIC's authorization expires, and input by the Nutrition Committee will be critical to the future existence and growth of coverage...
...only to the extent that a demand for lower fertility exists. That demand apparently does not now exist in sufficient strength in most of the developing countries. There are a number of policy actions that governments can take to help stimulate the demand. None of them is easy to implement. All of them require some reallocation of scarce resources. Some of them are politically sensitive. But governments must measure those costs against the immeasurably greater costs in store for societies that procrastinate while dangerous population pressures mount...

Shortly after Ebert became dean of the Medical School in 1965 he began work on setting up the Harvard Community Health Plan, a health maintenance organization that would emphasize primary and preventive care--a progressive shift in emphasis not especially easy to implement, given the Med School's largely conservative faculty. Most analysts of the U.S. health care system view the shift as a definite change for the better. The plan Ebert started now boasts 65,000 Boston-area residents as members...
...never initiate a "Marshall Plan for the cities," as Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D.-Minn.) recently called his own vision of urban restoration, is not surprising, only frustrating. Indeed, throwing money at problems clearly has its limitations and the CD program has shown that localities are better suited to implement certain programs than is the federal government. But it does not necessarily follow that $12.4 billion is a fair level of funding for all of community development in the United States when a single program for a missile of dubious value--the MX--may cost as much...
...altogether. American society is badly in need of reforms to provide equal opportunity for women and minorities. But the need for broad reform should not be grounds for continued discrimination against the elderly. It is unclear whether the passage of the bill now in Congress will cripple attempts to implement reforms favoring opportunities for women and minorities, but it is clear that a continuation of mandatory retirement will limit the opportunities of the nation's elderly...
