...public high schools in this country would indicate to me that public opinion in the United States has been committed to a single, not a dual system of education. The history of the rest of this century will prove whether or not the commitment is irrevocable. The verdict will depend, I believe, in no small measure on whether the comprehensive public high school can win a wide support. In short, can we have both unifomity and diversity in secondary education? My answer is that we can. The answer of this audience of school administrators, I feel sure, is that...
Your March 10 article on taxes was timely and informative. I shed no tears for my fellow citizens who are being hit where it hurts them most. For years they approved a dishonest tax, and they deserve all they get. Unscrupulous politicians have always understood that they could depend upon the votes of those who are moved by "envy, malice and all uncharitableness." The Marxian concept of graduated income and inheritance taxes was made to order for them . . .

She prizes most one oblique Maine compliment: "I don't care for you," said a woman on whom she was calling-and Preacher...
Macy's did not grow faster. Last year, in fact, it had one of the worst years in its history. The chain's profits, which depend largely on the New York store, tumbled from $7.7 million to $3.9 million, from $4.10 per common share to $1.67. One big factor, some competitors thought, was the money-losing price war which Weil had touched off with a big fanfare of ads right after the U.S. Supreme Court knocked out fair-trade laws. Weil had thought that the war would last a few days; it ran for six weeks and many...
