...farther behind. In one Manhattan school, 47% of the second grade are below the national reading norm; in the third grade, 52% of the children were behind, while 72% of the fourth grade lagged. The notion is often advanced that black parents do not care. The experience of Ocean Hill-Brownsville, as well as simple observation, says differently. Few can forget a demonstration last year in an East Harlem school where an elderly black woman, tears streaming down her face, cradled the head of her nine-year-old grandson and lamented, as if chanting a dirge...
Though Shanker's originally stated desire to protect teachers' rights seemed reasonable enough-the Ocean Hill Board had indeed treated union teach ers arbitrarily-Shanker appears now to want something entirely different. "Teachers have been castrated," he told TIME Reporter Peter Babcox. "Until now, teachers' organizations have played around with piddling little things. There is need for upheaval, for revolutionary change. Innovation in education is not enough. You have to have power."

...scrupulous about the means. He has been a devoted advocate of Negro rights in the past. Now he appears bent on exploiting the anti-Semitism which undoubtedly exists among Negroes in Ocean Hill in order to rouse the city's Jewish population against decentralization.

Democrat James Allen, a conservative Southerner, is a cinch to win the seat of Alabama's retiring Lister Hill. Five Republicans-Illinois' Everett Dirksen, New Hampshire's Norris Cotton, New York's Jacob Javits, Utah's Wallace Bennett and Vermont's George Aiken-are likewise rated as shoo...
...character is a promising one, and perhaps one day Farrow can play it for what it's worth. For now, she is trapped in a glossy, twittering movie that poses as a psychological horror story. Leonora, an over-the-hill prostitute (Elizabeth Taylor), is accosted by Cencion a London bus. The girl invites her home-where Leonora discovers an eerily familiar face in a photograph. Cenci's dead mum was a ringer for the prostitute. And, vice versa, Cenci reminds the prostitute of her daughter, dead lo these seven years. The two settle down symbiotically in Cenci...
