...reading "Denali Strikes Back" [Aug. 11], I was amazed that Bradford Washburn blamed "serious tactical blunders" for the mountaineering disaster. This statement seems to indicate that the expedition made some mistakes that most mountaineers would routinely avoid and that these errors were largely responsible for the tragedy. In talking with Mr. Washburn, I find that he had only sketchy information and did not at first understand why the expedition split into two groups. He certainly did not mean to imply that the tactics were responsible for the tragedy...
...nation's capital, an underground newspaper, the Washington Free Press, runs a biweekly agony column for the man who would avoid military service; with a mock bow to Lieut. General Lewis Hershey, director of Selective Service, the column is titled: "Dear General Marsbars-Advice to the Draft Resister." All in all, there are more than 100 counseling centers around the country. Milwaukee peace workers last month saw nothing at all odd in setting up a draft-guidance stand at the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis-with a fudge salesman on one side and a kew-pie-doll barker...

...kids into the classroom, take students out often to visit places that fascinate them.

Holt's system would be to avoid any system at all. A teacher's role, he contends, is to "give children as much help and guidance as they need and ask for, listen respectfully when they feel like talking, and then...
...Fashioned Virtue. As Nixon's running mate in 1960, Lodge was accused by party pros of not going all out in campaigning. His version is that he was properly pacing himself to sooth an ulcer and avoid the fatigue that too often produces reckless campaign statements. Again, no matter: another political defeat afforded Lodge the chance for even more disinterested public service-his two separate stints as U.S. Ambassador to Viet Nam, first for Kennedy, then for Johnson...
