Boston is one of the few cities in the U.S. that allows teachers to use corporal punishment. Kozol charges that teachers sometimes employ bamboo rattans to whip the hands of their Negro charges with sadistic delight: "There are moments when the visible glint of gratification becomes undeniable in the white teacher's eyes...
Monument that Floats. Judged by the Contemporary's first offerings, the answer would seem to be "a fair amount of confusion." The principal exhibit, "Pictures to be Read / Poetry to be Seen," focused on the works of twelve artists who employ both pictorial images and written words and ranged from the exquisite to the spectacularly shoddy.

Beyond the Balance Sheet. Only recently has the need for Chesham-type professionalism been recognized in Britain. Unlike their American counterparts, few big businesses in England can afford to employ full-time experts on mergers and acquisitions. Often the merger is a part-time endeavor of a few executives who lack the necessary expertise beyond the balance sheet to understand the long-range implications of the match. For this reason, Stacey estimates that between 1948 and 1960 about one-half of Britain's mergers turned sour.
