...Boston trial is expected to drag on for several weeks, despite 85-year-old Judge Francis J. W. Ford's warnings to "get on with it." In another draft-related case, a Baltimore district court last week sentenced two pacifists to six years in federal prison and a third to three years for pouring duck blood on draft-board records. One of those sentenced to a six-year stretch was the Rev. Philip F. Berrigan, 44, a Roman Catholic priest...
...littlest Ford Continental, Alessandro Ford Uzielli, 18 months, woggled into international view for the first time at Paris' Orly Airport in the velvety clutches of Mother Anne Ford Uzielli, 25, and Aunt Charlotte Ford Niarchos, 27. Tiny Alex roundly ignored eager photographers, but perked up later at Grandma's house: Mme. Sybil Billotte's 14-room estate in suburban Senlis. The tyke and his doting entourage (including nanny, two bodyguards and chauffeur) then motored to Brussels, where he and Auntie Charlotte hopped a plane to New York, the last leg of his jet-set journey...
Decentralization is the latest battle cry in public education. The concept has been widely heralded as a cure for the ills of the New York City school system, which-like many big metropolitan systems-is cumbersome and plagued by bureaucracy.

Such local control, the panel argued, would make the schools more responsible to the needs of the community; it would also keep parents from blaming the city...
Quarrels Over Responsibility. With the approval of the city's board of education and the help of a $59,000 planning grant from the Ford Foundation, the Ocean Hill-Brownsville experiment was set up last summer. Local parents elected a committee to run the eight schools in the project and were given power to select principals, allocate funds, and set educational goals and standards. The city board of education supposedly retained only the supervisory authority, but from the start, there were quarrels over divisions of responsibility. School-board officers feared that the committee had been taken over by Black...
Discussing auto sales and corporate profits with 1,200 stockholders at their annual meeting last week, Ford Motor Co. Chairman Henry Ford II and President Semon E. Knudsen were in an optimistic mood. They had good reason to be. Auto sales, which accounted for 90% of Ford's quarterly revenues of $3.9 billion, are so strong that Ford's earnings will probably be close to the record year of 1965, when the company broke all sales marks and profits were $703 million...
