...achieved without social justice but last week called Humphrey "naive" about crime. "Doubling the conviction rate in this country," said Nixon, "would do far more to cure crime in America than quadrupling the funds for Mr. Humphrey's war on poverty." He is in favor of "order with progress" when he speaks in Westchester but for "law and order" when he is in Houston or Charlotte, N.C. His approach seems to be paying off. The Louis Harris Survey last week produced new evidence that Nixon has been gaining popular support because of the "law and order" issue. Similarly...
...northeast, the first blossoms of modernity have finally begun to sprout in the rugged kingdom of Afghanistan. So have the weeds. After 2,500 years of inertia, a startling 13-year spurt of modernization has made itself felt across much of the Texas-sized nation. The beginnings of progress have also brought new problems, political and economic. As a result, Afghanistan's course seems far less clear today than it did a few years...

Detested Strep. Before this can be circumvented completely, the transplant antigens must be better understood both chemically and biologically. Then perhaps they can be manipulated so that a recipient will get an injection to switch off his rejection mechanism before he gets his transplant. The most encouraging news of progress toward this goal came from British investigators, who reported that some mouse antigens appear remarkably similar to man's and might therefore serve as a source of raw material. More surprisingly, New York University's Dr. Felix T. Rapaport reported that a similar antigen can be extracted from...
...also one of the most perceptive. In The Anatomy of Revolution (1938), a study of four major upheavals, from the English rebellion of 1640 to the Russian Revolution of 1917, he spelled out his now-familiar theory that revolutions stem from hope not despair, from the promises of progress rather than from continuous oppression...
