"Revisionism, or right-wing opportunism," is now the major problem of the Communist camp, said Khrushchev, and he was all against different roads to socialism, or letting a hundred flowers bloom. (Echoed Peking: "The fight against revisionism has just begun. It must be smashed completely"-thereby proving...
...blew off a fortnight ago when Preston Young, 16, a Negro pupil at Central Senior High, punched Richard Powers, 28, a gym teacher. Outraged Superintendent Hazlett last week prodded the board of education into expelling Young for the rest of the year, asked for the right to expel any disorderly pupil for up to a full semester. Hazlett called for the names of juvenile extortionists and weapon carriers, planned to make their parents "answer to the central office why their child should stay in school...
