...all-out North Vietnamese offensive entered its eighth week, the gloom that had pervaded Washington and Saigon earlier in the month began cautiously to lift. Though the expected Communist strikes in the north and in the Central Highlands had yet to come, officials took comfort in the fact that South Viet Nam's battered armed forces seemed to be holding together, at least for the moment.

Since Johns Hopkins Sociologist James Coleman's celebrated study in 1966, all research has suggested that a child's home environment-his family's educational and economic status-has more effect on how well he learns than anything he encounters in school...
