...those brave little ragamuffins of a century ago-have long since petrified into pillars of the community. Sweet were their uses of adversity, as they parlayed pants patches into stock certificates. One hundred years later, their progeny are fine specimens of progressive pediatrics, John Dewey and a high-protein diet. Rags have become the symbol of riches. Youthful outcries against the system, the Establishment and middle-class consuming have become so persistent and eloquent that moral outrage itself threatens to become a lucrative commodity...
...crowd will be the most responsive. More than 11,000 turned out last week in Anaheim, Calif., 5,000 in Fresno, 10,000 in Salt Lake City, 250,000 to watch the candidate's motorcade in Philadelphia. The press is kept happy with a steady if low-protein diet of news releases. The staff radiates efficiency and confidence. "There's a scent of victory in the air," Richard Nixon allowed last week. "We're on a winning team...

Another time in 1964 the total monthly distribution consisted of beets and celery. Even in the best months, there is an obvious lack of meat and other protein-rich foods. Department of Agriculture tables reveal that a diet based on commodities provides about 3 or 4 per cent of the protein needed for healthy development, and about 350 per cent of the fat and carbohydrate requirement...

Adult Negroes show the effect of another kind of malnutrition. A diet based on fat and carbohydrate produces bloated, formless women, and men who die twice as often of heart disease as whites...
Different Shapes. The target of all medications that suppress organ rejections is what the experts call "the transplant antigens," protein molecules that are too small to be seen even with the electron microscope. Apparently they sit on the outside of the body's cells, ready to trigger an antibody reaction and rejection phenomenon if the cells are transplanted, as part of a kidney or heart, into another person...
