...President's plan has basically a twofold purpose: to bring decent living conditions within the reach of poor families and to begin clearing up urban slums and breaking up ghettos.

Only buildings owned by non-profit or limited dividend organizations (unions or churches, for example) would be subsidized. By thus supplementing its existing public housing...
Fletcher argues that his approach is applicable to social policy and is no different from that of Jesus, who rejected the complexities of Jewish law and reduced his own ethical teaching to a twofold command to love God and neighbor.

Rats on Cylert learned after only two or three trials; rats with no Cylert took eight to ten trials. Moreover, the Cylert rats remembered their lesson as long as six months, while untreated...
