...more typical complaint was that such matters do not belong in TIME. We believe that TIME must reflect existence as it really is. Our cover painting was indeed provocative, to match a provocative subject. We could have chosen an abstract symbol or a work by a long-dead master; but TIME was interested not in symbolism but in reality, not in the past but in the present. And so with the story itself. The majority of our readers seem to have appreciated the usefulness of bringing together in one article the evidence of the present crisis in values, which threatens...
Trillin speaks with a low and calm voice; he is not writing about an abstract Negro on a magazine cover who stands firmly, muscles taut, eyes forward. Underneath the placid prose is another figure, the intelligent Southern Negro, who, unlike his contemporaries from the North, cannot go home to Boston, New York, or Springfield after his year of working in the South is over...

New math thus begins on the concrete level and only later moves to the abstract. Math is also a unified system; new math thus shows the interrelation of all branches, such as algebra and geometry, rather than teaching them as separate topics. The stress is on "discovery"-the artful question that sparks a child's desire to see patterns and find answers. The idea is to get children inside the structure of numbers...
