...have been distant and somewhat troubled. He allies himself with religious Fundamentalists for political advantage, but rarely goes to church. Such inconsistencies are human enough. They point a little, however, toward a window onto the uglier side of Reaganism, if not Reagan, the side where some old American meannesses dwell--religious hatreds, fanaticism, intolerance...
Americans in their celebratory moods sometimes behave as if they had invented freedom. They have at least given freedom a splendid home. The text of the great Fourth of July birthday party will not dwell on the ugly side of American freedom (the founders reserving freedom pretty much for white male property owners and countenancing the enslavement of blacks, for example). Nor will the star-burst rhetoric discuss the heartlessness of much American freedom, the bleak lives of those who cannot compete. Freedom has a lot of Charles Darwin's logic prowling around in it, hungry for the weaker animals...
These efforts are suggestive. They indicate that research, even in its current state of development, can still throw valuable light on specific issues of immediate practical significance. Yet a comprehensive program of educational research cannot dwell only on current questions. We must also develop more reliable techniques for evaluating educational programs and teaching methods.

Stealing was an early problem of his: base runners were a novelty...
Smith lived in a suburb of Houston with his wife and three children, but he was used to pulling up roots and resettling whenever necessary. "He never turned down a challenge and always did whatever the Navy asked him to do," said Florence Noe, an aunt. Nor did he dwell much on the danger of his work. "Everybody looks at flying the shuttle as something dangerous. But it's not," he commented before Challenger's lift-off last week. "It's a good program, and something the country should be proud of." Said his brother Pat: "I hope everybody realizes...
