TIME had no need to apologize to Superintendent of Schools Jansen for its report on Harlem [TIME, May 17]. Eight years before his ". . . two-year-project to reduce delinquency in Harlem," I established a psychiatric clinic at P.S. 89, in deep Harlem, under the sponsorship of the boss of the Truant Officers, George Chatfield. My final report, after two years of zealous effort, is so close to your April 5th [review of] the present Harlem Report, that I shall spare you the actual comparisons.

One of the girls, Janet Blair, is about the prettiest sweater model in movies; Skelton, given half a chance, can be quite funny; the scripters have given him better-than-average chances...
Dirty Foreigners. Two years of fighting had separated North from South with deep, bitter emotions. When youthful John Dooley, a Virginian soldier, compared the "dignified but most courteous" appearance of his hero, General Lee, with the sullen demeanor of the frightened citizens of Pennsylvania, he simply concluded that the Unionists were as different from the Confederates as another "race of people." So it seemed, also, to Gettysburg Housewife Sallie Broadhead, as she watched Lee's vanguard outside her house. The Southerners were "a miserable-looking set" of alien monsters with a "traitor's flag" who pranced barefoot...
