...words were Chief Justice Earl Warren's in the 1954 Supreme Court decision that outlawed public school segregation. Now the Brown decision has taken on fresh legal currency for another deprived group-the estimated 1,200,000 school-age children who are classified as retarded. In many school jurisdictions the least able of the retarded youngsters are placed in the dead-end category of "uneducable and untrainable" by school psychologists. Once that label is applied to a child, the schools are relieved of their obligation to train...

Even so, building on the changes in American society initiated by the Warren court, the court today could very well serve as a steadying voice of reason at a time of disquiet and national self-questioning...
Fearsome Foursome. If the Orioles' victory celebration seemed a bit forced last week, it was only because the popping of champagne corks has become something of an October rite in Baltimore. While the bubbly flowed, Manager Earl Weaver proclaimed his Orioles "the best team ever assembled. We're only the third team to win more than 100 games three straight years, and we've won four pennants in six years-and only the Yankees have done that...
