...work all year at extra pay that there has been no need to hire additional staffers. Teacher Jeanine Lewis of Grady High School says the new courses "keep me from being stalemated, and they add spice for the students, too." Mrs. Lewis believes the new system will also help dropouts ease back into school during the more casual summer quarter, when teachers can take more time to work with them...
...versatile Braden, 51, is a former Dartmouth English instructor, wartime OSS and CIA official, and owner of the Oceanside (Calif.) Blade-Tribune (which he purchased in 1954 with the help of a $100,000 loan from Nelson Rockefeller and sold profitably last year). A Kennedy liberal, Braden headed California's board of education, a post in which he clashed often with Max Rafferty, the reactionary state superintendent. This journalistic odd couple-Braden is tall, wiry and intense, Mankiewicz is short, round-faced and bemused -launched their project in the belief that most columns "are lousy" and fail to express...
...Trust increased the income of a furniture-company sales manager and his wife, an author of children's books.

The rather general idea that Negroes should lift themselves up through business ownership, as many other ethnic groups had done in the U.S., inspired hope and some votes among people of all races. "To the extent that programs of 'black capitalism' are successful...
...half a million, there are fewer than 25 black-owned businesses that have more than 25 employees. Few of the important stores on 125th Street, the major artery of Harlem, are black-owned. True, more and more Negro entrepreneurs are rising, but too few have received any real help from the Nixon Administration, whose programs for black capitalism are mired in confusion, contradiction and delay. The Government has 117 programs for aid to "minority" businesses, but no central clearinghouse to bring together those programs and the people seeking them. "The Government has to lead the private sector," says Adolph Holmes...
