Invitation to Learning (Sun. 11:30 a.m., CBS). Robert Frost's Collected Poems, discussed by Charles Poore, Eric Larrabee...
Horseplayers who turned up at the half-mile harness track one evening last week looked over the field in the $10,000 Runnymede Trot, put their money on "Little Joe" O'Brien and watched him romp home. Such confidence in Little Joe and his Hambletonian-bound colt Scott Frost is getting to be a habit.

It has a school of nursing, runs a 357-student Foundation School where anyone, no matter what his age, can get a basic education. Berea students help run the college's 65-bed hospital. They can study forestry on its 5,600 acres of woodland, learn agriculture...
