...torchbearers of institutionalized liberalism, Americans for Democratic Action could hardly have relished in advance a scheduled address by Daniel Patrick Moynihan at a policy meeting of their national board in Washington last week. Yet Urbanologist Moynihan (TIME cover, July 28) is a member of the board and had a proper voice at the meeting. In keeping with his maverick style, he managed to plant some well-honed darts in sundry sensitive zones of the liberal conscience. Items...
...close to having universal approval as any of the dozens of federal programs, and has already "had a very major, very deep" effect, says Werner Hirsch, director of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at U.C.L.A. But even Head Start money "goes down the sewer," notes Chicago Urbanologist Philip Hauser, if Head Start graduates are then put-as they usually are-into classrooms that are not prepared for them. Most job-training projects also receive high marks. Four Government "skills centers" in Los Angeles have provided training for 840 slum residents, finding jobs for 85% of them since...

Wilson suggests that the U.S. may soon find that it needs similar professional forces-possibly organized by the states, but more probably a federal force deployed...
