...high-$8,000 per year. Even that fails to cover the true cost, which is $12,000 per pupil. To make up the difference and pay for the one-third of the students who receive scholarships, Bettelheim relies on foundation grants and grateful parents. Of the severely disturbed children he has treated, one is now teaching clinical psychology at Harvard. Another teaches educational psychology at Stanford.

BOAC Chairman Sir Giles Guthrie calls the pilots "spoiled children." A three-week-old wildcat strike by 187 female upholstery stitchers has shut down British Ford's huge Dagenham plant, idling 5,000 workers and interrupting the output of autos for the export trade that Britain must increase for its economic survival...
