Now the Labor Party wants to send all children to comprehensive schools-and many middle-class parents are aghast. If grammar schools go, they charge, their children will have to mix with academic and social inferiors. Seizing the issue, the Conservative Party has vowed...
...this kind of Center? The Ford Foundation is not likely to be of much help either if we may judge from the fate o? the Institute of Hispanic-American and L?so-Brazilian Studies at Stanford, an institution whose only apparent shortcoming was a propensity to attract Latin Americanists with independent views on the U.
