...Schmidhauser of Iowa has been prodding the IRS and the Treasury Department for months, pleading with them to tap a source of revenue he estimates at $110 million yearly. The stalling, suggested Schmidhauser in a House speech, comes from senior bureaucrats' "unwillingness to step on powerful toes." Republican Glenn Cunningham of Nebraska made it a bipartisan fight. "This is no matter on which reasonable men can differ," said he. "It is now time for action...
Leading performers get terribly emo tional about their instruments (which the manufacturers lend out for concert use in exchange for the prestige that the pianists bring). Glenn Gould always played Steinway's No. 174; when it collapsed some years back, he was thrown into a deep depression.

...Teach Your Baby to Read is an almost evangelical ode to early learning by Physical Therapist Glenn Doman, who has been teaching preschool children with brain damage to read at Philadelphia's Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. He contends that almost every young child has a "built-in rage for learning" and that parents have "a sacred duty to open the floodgate of all basic knowledge to him." Doman claims that a baby will take to the written word as easily as to the spoken language and can even learn to read before he learns to speak...
