What had treason, sedition and academic freedom to do with New Jersey's gubernatorial race? Everything. Until July, Candidate Dumont, 51, a state-tax expert and attorney, and Incumbent Hughes, 56, an affable, undistinguished administrator who is seeking a second four-year term, had almost nothing to argue about. Both agreed that New Jersey's most pressing problem, a chronic shortage of revenue, could be solved only by new taxes. (New Jersey and Nebraska are the only two states in the Union that do not levy statewide taxes on income or retail sales.) Nor did the candidates electrify...
...Child. A stocky, ruddy-faced man of 57, Levine is a rarity in New York's weary school system. He is a lawyer, a Latin expert, a Talmudic scholar and a musician. Notwithstanding those interests, he gives tireless attention to teaching, even after 34 years in the profession. One of education's foremost functions, argues Levine, is "to build up the child's image of himself," and the foundation for that is to teach children to read.

As one U.S. expert puts it: "Castro is now willing to go down the line with the Russians...
...Dodgson drawings, though worlds away from the expert expressiveness of the famous illustrations by Tenniel, have a charm all their own. They summon an image of dear Dodgson as he sat back, pen in hand and collar askew, to beam at this lucky squiggle or that eager splodge and imagine how Alice would soon stare at it with huge believing eyes. The later Alice is a work of literature; the earlier a work of love...
