...other hand, the Faculty showed SFAC considerable deference Tuesday. The exception to its probation rules the Faculty voted for Dudley's John Fouts was purely a gesture of respect to the Council. And that an entire Faculty meeting centered on SFAC business was itself a landmark.

Johnson has diffused certain federal powers to a wider extent than is generally recognized in the poverty war, with its 1,000-odd community-action programs; in the landmark Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which encourages innovation by individual schools; in the air-and water-pollution-control acts, with their call for state-conceived programs; and in the model-cities bill, which leaves it to the mayors to tie together some 200 different federal urban programs into a coherent...
