...Yellow Submarine. Up and down the glittering beach front, there was hardly a hotel with closet space to rent. The Alaskan delegation was quartered in the South Seas Hotel; landlocked Kansas was assigned to the Sea Gull. Wisconsin's delegates made a felicitous choice in the Crown, whose Roaring 20s Club should make Milwaukeeans in particular feel right at home with its nickel beer. Unhappiest of all were the Pennsylvanians, who landed in the Diplomat, 14 miles up the beach and closer to Fort Lauderdale than to the hall. To spare himself the long trip, Pennsylvania's Governor...

...break through the news blackout. I have just resigned my position as second-grade teacher in one of the newest schools in Escambia County. Children are stuffed into classrooms, sit in broken chairs, taught on the stage in the "cafetorium," have speech classes in a closet between a Coke machine and the teachers' mailboxes, eat a 15-minute lunch in silence. Our affluent society is cheating children. It is time to stop...
