...tough problems of U.S. North ern school integration - the ironies of good intentions and painful misunder standings, the subtleties of trying to ig nore skin color while trying to take it into account, the vain hope of having schools that serve both slums and middle-class neighborhoods- welled up last week in New York City's Harlem...
Coach Don Raskins of Texas West ern College was reminiscing before the finals of the N.C.A.A. championship in which his Miners would face the na tion's top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats.

Partly because the Scandinavians and some other West ern buyers have complained that East German products fall apart after a few months' use, the country's sales to the West have flattened out at 16% of its $3 billion export total-of which West Germany takes 10% and Russia 50%. Moreover, the economic gap between East and West Germany is widening. Though the East should be growing...
