LITTLE ROCK--Paratroopers from the Army's famed 101st Airborne Division took up stations around Central High School Tuesday night, scene of disorders resulting from efforts to integrate Negro pupils in the school. The force, said to number 500, split--one group going to the high school and the other to Little Rock's National Guard armory. A number of Negro paratroopers were seen in convey trucks...

"Have you the consent of other East Indonesian areas [i.e., the Moluccas and Bali]?" "Yes," snapped Sumual, then launched into a vigorous attack against central government corruption...
...laboratory on the third floor of the old Central High School in Evansville, Ind. gleams incongruously with the sleek, modern equipment of college and industrial biochemistry. There, this week, a select group of five students will move into one of the most ambitious high-school science projects in the nation: to identify and isolate all the amino acids in ordinary fruit.

...persuaded NIH to invest in high-school students is Robert Lee Silber, 29-year-old head of the science department at Central. Silber has his own special brand of mild-mannered determination, e.g., to work his way through Evansville College, he scrubbed floors in a slaughterhouse.

Encouraged by NIH biochemist Filadelfo Irreverre, Silber asked NIH for a grant to carry on the work with his students back at Central...

But last week an unlikely rebel had the people talking angrily about throwing out the Reds once and for all. The issue: progressive education. The rebel: Mother Veronica, the frail, 74-year-old abbess of the Convent of St. Clare, who runs a top-notch traditionalist school for about...
