After three months of searching, the Kennedy Administration last week dragged its favorite talent pool, Harvard, to fish up a new U.S. Commissioner of Education.

These days, the Crocketts are enraged by a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service proposal to buy up 27,000 acres of land in the region for a duck refuge. If the project goes through, some 80 families will have to sell their land and move out.
