...flying back from Texas, placed a worried call to the hospital and dispatched a White House plane to bring Mrs. Dirksen to her husband's bedside from Nashville, where she was visiting their daughter. Later in the week, Johnson paid Dirksen a personal call. The President's concern was more than a reflection of longstanding friendship. It was also acknowledgment of Dirksen's unique eminence in American politics, both as the guiding spirit of congressional Republicans and the pragmatic champion of his party's support for the Johnson Administration's Viet Nam policy...
There is also great concern for what sort of legacy will be left to Ed School students yet to come. Previous years saw the students inspecting the Library and the placement Office, examining the doctoral program, or confronting the faculty with alternatives to the MAT experience. But there were few attempts at perpetuating these efforts, and if they remain at all, they do so only in the fuzzy memories of a few administrators and the oldest doctoral candidates. Determined that the current student activity will have more lasting effect, many of this year's group are struggling to produce viable...
...little, though some, merit. Money is not the sole criterion dividing students from non-students in American society, and abolishing the 2-S might lower the general standard of education somewhat. But this unverifiable and hardly earth-shaking possibility cannot counterbalance the gross injustice of the present system.

...appears to be inherited in many cases, but may also be the result of early brain injury, and that it leads to reading difficulties in children who otherwise show normal intelligence in mental tests. Dyslexics display a whole syndrome of symptoms (some of which are no cause for concern in preschool-age children, but may indicate dyslexia if they persist beyond this age). Usually they confuse spatial relationships. Horizontally, this leads, for example, to spelling first as frist, very as vrey. Vertically, it may cause mixups between u and n, b and p, R and B. Their sense of time...
...obvious argument against higher taxes is that business is already beginning to hurt from the labor shortage and from tight credit. Reflecting the auto industry's concern last week were General Motors' announcement that it was putting at least four of its 23 car-assembly plants on three-day or four-day work weeks and Ford's decision to eliminate Saturday overtime at four of its nine assembly plants. Auto sales in April were off almost 5% from last year's record, and the inventory of unsold cars swelled to 1,582,000 compared with...
