29 Years Ago In TIME

Dogged Consistency

Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who managed last week's minimum-wage bill in the Senate, has long kept his focus on work and America's cities: "'All the things we've tried to help the cities with aren't working out very well, are they?' asks Moynihan, 40, a former Assistant Secretary of Labor and the most controversial of urban-affairs analysts. The question may sound over jaunty, but it reflects the preoccupation of Moynihan's life...'We are the only industrial democracy,' he told a Senate subcommittee, 'that does not have a family allowance. And we are the only democracy whose streets are filled with rioters each summer...The biggest single experience anyone has is working.'"
--July 28, 1967
