...count as "vocational agriculture" such related industries as food processing, and include in "home economics" such jobworthy skills as commercial garment making. At least 25% of the money provided for in the bill would go to "area vocational education schools"-well-equipped centers offering modern skills to anyone, teen-ager or adult, who is not attending a regular high school. The U.S. already has 300 such area schools, teaching 500,000 people in 33 states, and another 106 are planned or under construction. The fact that Connecticut has 14 of them is one reason why that state has the nation...

"It all started here 14 years ago," Graham said in Los Angeles. "Nobody had heard of Khrushchev, Castro was a teen-ager,* and Dr. Kinsey was still studying wasps...

Shriver was reared in Maryland, a devout Catholic and hard-core Democrat. There was a fair amount of money from the family grain mill, built in Union Mills, Md., in 1797, and from a canning business. The son of a Baltimore bank vice president, Sargent prepped at Canterbury School, New Milford, Conn., went on to Yale, graduating cum laude in 1938, got his law degree three years later.
