Moynihan's original appeal to Nixon and part of his present effectiveness was basically that of an adversary. He was part of the committee that drafted the Kennedy-Johnson "war on poverty," then turned into one of its harshest crit ics. In his recently published attack on the program, Maximum Feasible Mis understanding, Moynihan criticized the Office of Economic Opportunity for antipoverty campaigns that have a tendency "to oversell and underperform...
...bonds have created some jolting moments. Nowhere has Nixon had to bend to necessity more than in last week's decision to transfer the Job Corps to the Labor Department. During the campaign, he had branded the program a "failure" and threatened to scuttle it. Some of Moynihan's own statements may also come back to haunt him, especially his 1965 report, as Assistant Secretary of Labor, on disintegration of the Negro family. The latest figures, unfortunately, back him up only too well: the nationwide rate of black illegitimacy has increased from 23.6% to 29.4% in the interim...
National Urban Policy. Besides the Job Corps, Nixon's principal antipoverty change was to transfer the highly successful Head Start program to HEW, turning the Office of Economic Opportunity into a kind of research and development center without specific programs.

Scheduled to be tested in manned flight for the first time next week during the flight of Apollo 9, the Spider is the homely offspring of a concept of Aeronautical Engineer John Houbolt, an unsung hero of the U.S. space program. NASA officials now agree that without Houbolt's lonely campaign early in the 1960s, the U.S. would have been hard pressed to meet John Kennedy's goal of landing men on the moon before...
...certain what form that action could take, but scientists at as many as 30 universities have scheduled March seminars and meetings to investigate the possibilities. Many of them, however, have rejected the idea of accompanying research stoppages. Yale University scientists will sponsor two panel discussions as part of a program called "The Scientist and Society: a day of reflection." Faculty members at the University of Minnesota are drawing up a statement opposing the ABM system for presentation at their meeting, which may also be addressed by Minnesota Congressman Donald Fraser. Physicist Edward Condon, his flying saucer investigation completed, is heading...
