Not only did common Americans build and name towns but they also founded states, propagated new faiths, commanded armies, wrote books, and ran for the highest offices. It is this that makes America unprecedentedly nev. It always tickles me to ul. enn now the nun - Ameiicanness of the radii a Is shows itself in their non - egalitarianism. I have yet to meet a radical who tiuly believes that common people can tule themselves, and can mu things without leaders. The radical who outstanding goes to the masses always goes in search of leadership. In the longshoi emeu's union the tadieals always had a noivous bteakdown any time a common, barely literate longshoreman ian for oflice and got elected. To me it seems axiomatic that ti common people everywhere are our natural allies, and that our chief contribuof Mankind tion to the advancement should be the eneigimg and activation of lowly folk.

We must deflate the pretension- of elites. These elites will hate us no matter what we do, and it is legitimate for as to hPlp dump them into the dustbin of history. Our foreign aid to the backward countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America should be tailored to the needs Af the masses, rather than of the elites. The elites hanker for the trappings of the 20th century. They want steel mills, dams, airlines, skyscrapers. Let them get these trappings from elitist Russia.

A research team acting for the Swedish Institute of Public Health has discovered tins investigacompleting tions ordered by the Swedish government. According to the teams results, the Baltic is now' the most polluted stretch of water in the world, with 10 times the concentration of DDT found tn the North Sea. Leading Swedish scientists have demanded a total ban on the use of DDT as a result of this report. But Swedish authorities are more cautious, though the Swedish Ministry of Agriculture is reported to be considering statutory control of the use of DDT. Seme Baltic fish now show dangerous levels of DDT contamination. Salmon have an average of 31 milligrams of of 25,003 milligrams per kilogram of fat.

For one thing, my former home town of Los Angeles has found (a) that some teachers misuse IQ test results by attributing to them the omnipotence formeily the exclusive property of Jehovah, and (b) that too many racial minority kids end up in the "low track" in school because they test low in intelligence, thus perpetuating racial segregation in an otherwise integrated school. So Los Angeles has nobly done the obvious thing to avoid the unspeakable stigma of bigot- ly. It has done away with in- telligence tests. The mind boggles at the cosmic simplicity of this re- sponse.
