...grown up and moved away.) During the harvest, she worked in the fields with her family and the hired hands, then headed back to the kitchen to cook. "I learned fast," she remembers. "I'd bake a half-dozen pies at a time, two or three chickens-farm fare, lots of it." Pat was a senior at the Excelsior Union High School, when her father became seriously ill. She dropped her plans for a college scholarship and assumed the job of nursing...
Your story clearly indicates by that the railroads' commuter service is, by and large going "steadily downhill." For those on the downhill grades I offer the following suggestion: sell rides to commuters for half fare, release brakes, and coast. Any excess kinetic energy may be converted to electric power and sold to the local power company at a modest profit...

In 43 states, more than 100,000 Republicans turned out for 83 fund-raising "dinners with Ike," at $24 to $100 a plate, to muster up $5,000,000 for the G.O.P. campaign treasury.

...York will go largely undiscovered and undeveloped." The answer, that poor and immigrant New Yorkers have always managed to rise, is no comfort to Veteran Educator Heald. "Their rise was often promoted by a developing, dedicated, sometimes inspirational school system. How will their counterparts of the 19605 fare?" By all evidence, not well. "An educational revolution is beginning to sweep the U.S.," but New York schools can barely "keep a foothold on the status quo." They are run by a politically appointed board of education, gripped in a "fiscal imprisonment" that plants city hall between the schools and state funds...
