...Radcliffe students now turned to the HDC as the major dramatic organization. So did the 15 or 20 non-graduating members of the defunct HTG (there was no formal merger; for, head high to the end, the HTG just quietly disbanded). In addition, there was a large increase that fall in theatrical interest on the part of the general student body. Not only this, but the entering freshman class contained more theatrical talent than any other class in Harvard history--including, as it happened, a notable quartet of students who would soon be generally recognized as a Big Four: Stephen...

...also lead to parents playing an excessive role in running a community's schools. In Lakewood, Ohio, when the school did not offer enough language and science courses, parents stepped in and taught them themselves; in Scarsdale, N. Y., a group of citizens organized several years ago, the now-defunct Committee of Ten to investigate Communism in the school system, and censor the books in the school libraries. In one community in Texas, a group of parents got together and demanded that European History no longer be taught in the public schools; their demand was heeded. The Lakewood experience worked...
