...recently as a decade ago, the idea of unionizing was repugnant to most U.S. physicians. Now the notion appears to be more attractive. In the past several years, local physicians' unions have sprung up in San Francisco, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Mich., and in New York City, where members successfully struck for shorter hours last spring (TIME, March 31). Last week American medicine took another significant step toward unionization. Meeting in Washington, D.C., the Physicians National Housestaff Association, which claims to represent some 18,000 interns, residents and postgraduate fellows in teaching hospitals round the country, decided overwhelmingly to become...
Investigators were considering various ways of gaining access to a sprawling private hunting preserve northwest of Ann Arbor that is owned by Louis ("Big Louie") Ruggirello, a prosperous entrepreneur who has been imprisoned for cheating on his income taxes. Ruggirello often invites his friends in to hunt for deer and foxes and other game. The lawmen want to roam the grounds to hunt for the body of Jimmy Hoffa...
...summary, of the ten cities which have studied the effects of busing on the achievement levels of school children, one shows moderate gains (Sacramento), two showed mixed results (Hartford/New Haven, Rochester), three are inconclusive (Buffalo, Evanston, White Plains) and four show either houses or no significant gains (Ann Arbor, Berkeley, Boston, Riversides). In every city studied busing failed to reduce the gap between black and white achievement. In fact most cities reported that the achievement gap had grown even larger after busing. Scholars who have reviewed the evidence, including Armor, Bell, Edmonds, Giazer, and St. John, have concluded that using...
...levels, paragraph meaning comprehension, mental ability, school achievement, reading and arithmetic. This leaves five studies. Three of these (Evanston, Boston-Metco and White Plains) must be eliminated from the realm of conclusive evidence due to a lack of control or comparison groups. The remaining two studies (Riverside and Ann Arbor) found no differences between bused and secregated blacks, but Riverside did not control for social class, and Ann Arbor tested students only one year after busing plans were altered...
...studies found conclusive gains for bused blacks over their non-bused peers in a number of skill areas. The remaining studies are of questionable conclusiveness (in each case by Leach's admission) due to lack of controls, sampling bias, and as I pointed out in the case of Ann Arbor, because testing for effects was done too early after the policy change...
