...reduce crime." He hastens to add, however, that the project has recevied sufficient grants from other groups. Slack is firmly convinced that the experimenter-subject approach can reduce the trend in juvenile delinquency in any community willing to give it a fair try. "Every way his wrong which only tries to 'help' kids," he states emphatically. "It won't work. We make the kids help us. That's what we've got to show people. We purposely set ourselves up so that we can be proved wrong. Yet at the end of the year the records show that the kids...
Kennedy's point was sound when he attacked the administration's failure to identify itself with progressive reform in Latin America; he is, however, dead wrong when he talks as if the United States were in a position to do anything about Fidel Castro.

In the assault upon Metz, Private First Class Swainson volunteered for a night patrol...
