...steel and blue glass of the Zion Baptist Church shines out from the grey of North Philadelphia. Its beige brick walls lighten the burned out buildings nearby, and a steel cross towers over bent and broken street lights. Zion attracts one of the largest congregations in the area, a district infamous for its high crime, poor housing and racial problems...
...lecherous professor is a standard figure at most colleges, as much a part of the campus scene as ivy-covered brick or the statue of the founder. In one informal poll at a California college, a quarter of the faculty members said they had been sexually active with students, and another fourth said they would like to be. A more ambitious survey of American women with degrees in psychology reported that 10% of the women said they had had sexual contact with their educators. For women who earned those degrees in the past six years, the figure was an astonishing...
...much more appealing than his clowning. Nierenberg beautifully captures Sims' afternoon visit with his ten-year-old son to the old Apollo Theater, where Sims had performed for 16 years before it went rock.

A single metal letter set on each bright orange door gives away the contents: W, K and J, which stands for Wilbur K. Jordan '28, the University official who decided in the late '50s to supplement the Radcliffe education with the practical skills every woman needed--cooking, cleaning, family life--by building some cooperative houses near Radcliffe. These are the Jordan coops...
