...there is to be any Democratic program in the following four years, it must come from Congress. As No. 2 man on the majority side and a member of the steering committee, Ted Kennedy will have a major role in formulating policy. Majority Leader Mansfield, a former college professor from Montana, has never been an aggressive legislative leader and, at 65, he has no aspiration for higher elective office. Thus Kennedy, his heir apparent, should have ample opportunity to show his mettle...
...Senate must still consider-and will probably approve-the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. But foreign aid and trade agreements may lead to sulfurous squabbles. The aid program seems destined to be squeezed down still further, and protectionists will again be seeking assistance for some domestic industries.

There after, he juxtaposes imaginative plans for cities of the future with the rot now growing at the cities' hearts. The combination is disturbing, although Secondari has done his best to make it hopeful as well as ominous...
...that they were being treated like so many IBM punch cards. Now prospective undergraduates are eagerly paying $15 to get just that sort of attention. By having information about themselves put on punch cards, they are getting valuable help in choosing the right college. In a fast-growing computerized program called SELECT, a computer digests the answers to a four-part 283-item questionnaire in a matter of seconds and compares the answers with its store of information about colleges. It then prints out letters to the students and their high school guidance counselors, listing ten to 15 colleges that...
