...Eleven Hoods. O'Keefe's disclosures were just as fantastic as the known details of the robbery. The near-perfect crime had been committed by eleven Boston hoods, all of them veteran criminals. It had been painstakingly planned for 18 months, carefully rehearsed in several "dry runs" at the scene of the big crime. By the evening of the big heist, each member of the gang was letter-perfect in his role...

The financial recommendations are no longer completely inadequate, and the conditions which make a locality eligible for aid no longer approach federal control. The only string which the President ties to the federal grants of $250,000,000 a year for five years is need. Although the bill, which also promises federal purchase of $750,000,000 of school construction bonds, failed to meet either educators' hopes or Democratic proposals...
