Even on the nearby moon, the unexpected is to be expected. No one knows for sure what the actual surface is like...
Next year Bronx High will leave its dirty yellow brick pile (Former Principal Meister will move in with his newly founded Bronx Community College) and take over a lavish, $8,000,000 brain trainery, equipped with special labs for independent student research. Last week the joyous grind for next year's scholarships continued; Math Department Chairman Irving Dodes dismissed a class studying symbolic logic, said wearily and wonderingly: "I can't sit down without kids coming in, pestering me for advanced math books or trying to prove the impossible. It's a continual effort to keep...
