The speech was essentially, though mutedly, conservative, an evocation of Eisenhower themes. "I see Americans who love their country for what it has been and what it must become. I see Americans...
Juvenile crime surges upward each year. Violent teen-agers terrorize communities. The number of youths arrested for murder, robbery, rape and assault has leaped 254% since 1960.
