...doctors, who examined 700 children in the state during a four-day inspection tour at the end of May, said that existing federal programs were not coping with the problem...
...Riot Act. Cincinnati's four-day outburst was the longest of the week, and in many ways the most ominous. Triggered by the arrest of a Negro demonstrator who was protesting a death sentence imposed upon his cousin, Posteal Laskey,* the riots raged not through a Negro slum, but in spacious, residential neighborhoods, where many of the city's 110,000 Negroes were moved when Cincinnati razed its ghetto as part of a $100 million urban-renewal program.

Harvard, which has set aside one day of its reunions for intellectual activity for ten years now, is offering grads two "university symposia"-one on Asia and the U.S. future moderated by former Presidential Assistant Adam Yarmolinsky, another on student careers, at which one lecturer will be Sociologist David Riesman. At nearby M.I.T., the alumni reunion features management seminars...
