...opener for the station's five-day-a-week educational curtain raiser is a bilingual newscast by Puerto Rican Newsman Jose Roman. Then Cuban-born, 31-year-old Teacher Clara Barbeito uses household objects and pictures to put across the day's vocabulary list. Listeners hear the words again when Roman closes class with a short, slowly spoken talk in English on how to get jobs in New York, or how to take advantage of the city's rent-control laws, or where to go for an inexpensive outing. Other Ingles encouragers: clips from English training films...

Bath Water & Baby. Oklahoma-born, Los Angeles-reared James Albert Pike was always one to stick his neck out. So uncompromising was his Catholicism that he turned down a scholarship to Harvard to go to a Catholic college-California's Jesuit University of Santa Clara. But after two years there, his faith in the Church of Rome was gone, and with it his faith in Christianity ("I threw out the baby with the bath water," he says). He switched to the University of Southern California, followed it up with Yale Law School...
