...week's end, the three Amish youngsters were still at large, and their parents were still in jail. Amish Bishop Samuel Swartzentruber said they would stay there "if it is God's will. We are not giving in." Some non-Amish Wayne County residents sympathized with the industrious, black-clad farmers, with whom they get along well, if distantly. But most of them agree that not even religion should be allowed to cut off children from the opportunity to become businessmen, doctors, lawyers or musicians, if they want to, instead of farmers. Prospect for the next school year...
...offered to resign, was refused with thanks. Now Speer turned in his resignation, had it accepted by an unruffled school board. Last week Superintendent Speer turned over his job to the assistant superintendent, who also happens to be supervisor of high school ski instruction. At week's end Pecjak was standing firm on his statement that may have voted for that eligibility thing, but that doesn't mean I feel a C in every subject is necessarily right.

While inventories got as low as 14 million tons during the 1954 recession, steelmen reckon that in 1958's bigger economy a bare-minimum inventory is 17 million tons. What could turn steel around-and give the entire economy a healthy...
...fires at anybody whose looks he doesn't happen to like. All this is mighty upsetting to Robert Taylor, the kid's big brother. "I wanted him straight," he sighs, "that's all. But he was rotten leather and he came apart." So in the end it's brother against brother, but as they say down Texas way, "Yew kin saddle the wind, but yew cain't ride it." Taking the bitter with the better, Saddle the Wind is a pretty good western. Rod Serling's script is intelligible, and Actor Taylor has acted...
