...weeks ago, the teachers searched the lounge and found a bugging device hidden behind a heating duct; the wires led directly to the office of School Superintendent Charles Murphy. Two more bugs turned up in a washroom adjoining the lounge. Their wires ran through the speech correction room, then through a trap door to an earphone set locked in a filing cabinet in the office of Assistant Principal Gerald Rittersdorf...
...wreckers went to work, so did the fossil hunters. They hosed and washed more than 300 suspect stones, chipped at them with hammer and chisel and then examined every square inch of visible surface. By the second day, they had found two large blocks, weighing about 500 Ibs. each, that showed distinct fossil markings. Back in New Haven, Ostrom made precise measurements. Though the fossil bones still must be carefully removed from their brownstone encasement. Ostrom is now convinced that the long search is over. One of the visible bones, he says, is an almost sure match to half...
There is always hope that the solutions to California's human problems can also be found. Meanwhile, in the search for new answers and guidelines, California is still faltering?and is paying in human terms.

The man most responsible, in Acheson's view, was Harry Truman, "the captain with the mighty heart." Acheson is not blind to his chiefs faults. Truman, he admits, was guided more by feeling than by reason. His most provocative example is Truman's help in founding the state of Israel, a policy that Acheson felt would produce enduring chaos in the Middle East. Elsewhere, he extols the ex-President's judgment, orderliness...
