520    Head Start, Job Corps, Foster Grandparents, College Work-
       Study, VISTA, Community Action, and the Legal Services 
       Corporation are familiar programs, but their tumultuous 
       beginning has been largely forgotten. Conceived amid the 
       daring idealism of the 1960s, these programs originated as
       weapons in Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty, an offensive 
       spearheaded by a controversial new government agency. 
       Within months, the Office of Economic Opportunity created 
       an array of unconventional initiatives that empowered the 
       poor, challenged the established order, and ultimately 
       transformed the nation's attitudes.
