...telephone hookup, paid for by the school board. Teachers and students must speak loudly so that the apparatus, which is moved from room to room, can pick up the voices. A teacher writing on a blackboard must be sure to pronounce what she writes, and to explain diagrams. Alan, unable to get recognition by raising his hand, just interrupts by phone to recite. It's all rather distracting, but at least Alan will be able to take his final exams, graduate, and go on to use his scholarship at the Philadelphia College...
...record of $210 million, or 9% better than during the same period last year. Then Ford Chairman Henry Ford II rose and sent the winds gusting in the other direction. Blaming most of the auto industry's troubles on the safety squabble ("I have no other way to explain this abrupt drop"), Ford said that sales had fallen off by about 5% during April, and were down about 15% during the first ten days of May.

...folk-rocker who calls himself Antoine has a shoulder-length coiffure, wears pastel flowered Pucci shirts and silky Courrèges slacks. In some circles in the U.S. these days, that sort of getup hardly raises an eyebrow. In France, it's something new, and that helps to explain why Antoine is the biggest thing there since Scotch. His records are out selling Charles Aznavour, Yves Montand and Johnny Hallyday combined. Wherever he goes, the kids-the girls, especially - engulf him. At Paris' Olympia Music Hall, it took 35 flics to keep back the girls, who retaliated...
