...broader context, the panel noted that the number of children under 18 who live in two-parent homes has dropped from 89% in 1960 to 80% and speculated that family disruption might lower scores. TV was cited as a probable factor: the panel figured that "by age 16, most children have spent between 10,000 and 15,000 hours watching television, more time than they have spent in school." Then, too, the decline in scores took place during a decade of distraction: "political assassination, burning cities and the corruption of national leadership." Finally, the group cited a striking lack...
...would today be about 443 (see chart). Another way of putting it: 90? invested in the Dow stocks 12½ years ago has shrunk, because of inflation and the market's poor performance, to 44? today. The Dow is an average of only 30 blue chips, but broader-based averages do not tell any very different story. For example, Standard & Poor's average of 500 stocks, at 97.51, is about the same...
Whoever inherits Makarios' job will be no new Dark Priest. But his problems will be enough to tax a saint.

That is hyperbolic; such changes did not occur until a broader nonradical public became disillusioned. But the energies of the young during the "60s made Americans begin to think about their environment, about the poor, about the purposes of progress. One of the most enduring products of the decade could be women's liberation. Because...
...land and inalienable rights as it did in 1898 [when the islands were annexed]." Ghana was founded four years ago on the neighboring island of Molokai to lead a fight for more public beaches, but the organization quickly spread through the islands and shifted to the much broader purpose of redressing native Hawaiians' political, economic and cultural grievances. Its members include kapuna (elders), farmers, fishermen, college graduates and even a smattering of white liberals. Most of them are middle class and in their mid-30s or older. Says Emmett Aluli, a physician and an Ghana leader...
