...four or five books a week, is starting Darwin's Origin of Species. And his spelling coach at Denver's Byers Junior High School is Teacher Ted Glim, producer of a co-champion two years ago, who shuns rote memorization. Glim starts with accurate pronunciation. "Then we go thoroughly into roots, prefixes and suffixes. We learn the story behind words, their meaning and use today." Run-of-the-mull samples: tenebrous, cachinnatory, sorbefacient. Says Glim-trained Joel, whose $1,000 prize would go toward his college education as a forestry scientist: "I'm interested in words. They...
...tiny photo lab into the auditorium dressing room. Soon "Bach's Boys" were rushing about, shoving big black boxes in students' faces and yelling, "Hold it!" Other teachers were shocked at Bach's brand of pedagogy: he encouraged playing hooky on sunny days-with a camera. "Go get the picture," he would say. Bach badgered officials into buying extra film, gave his budding photographers more than most daily newspapers allow their regulars. He ceaselessly sent his boys to football and basketball games to get realistic pictures (blur was just fine) and warned: "Don't bring back...

One of Bach's students was shy, skinny, 17-year-old Mark Kauffman, owner of a rickety Speed Graphic and the sole support of his parents, two sisters and 14 brothers.

The Russians had expected some 10,000 U.S. visitors in 1959, but now the total seems headed for 15,000. Not only is Russia "the place to go" for thousands of seasoned tourists, but this summer's U.S. exhibition in Moscow is proving a strong drawing card. So great is the influx that American Express alone had a backlog of 200 visa applications last week. The once-formidable Soviet tourist restrictions have been cut so much that...
...tourist can visit 27 Soviet cities on any of 45 Intourist itineraries, ranging from five to 23 days. The main travel circuit includes Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Tbilisi (the Eastern-flavored capital of Soviet Georgia), and the seaside resorts of the Black Sea (Sochi, Sukhumi, Yalta). More adventurous tourists can go to Riga, capital of Latvia; Irkutsk, the burgeoning capital of eastern Siberia; or far east to Tashkent and Alma-Ata. Intourist will also permit tourists to hunt in the Crimean game preserves, once reserved for Soviet V.I.P.s...
