...quarterbacking." Since the assassination, Hoover said, the FBI has started turning over to the Secret Service "thousands of names of beatniks and kooks and crackpots." But, he added, he didn't see how all this was going to help the Secret Service, since it was "hopelessly undermanned and ill-equipped to do the job it is supposed...
...names. In slum schools across the U.S., normally intelligent children come to kindergarten and first grades innocent of the elementary knowledge and aspirations of their middle-class contemporaries. This mental poverty, caused by their parents' often shocking ignorance and inarticulation, starts the kids off in school so ill-equipped that they slip helplessly backward as they go on (central Harlem eighth-graders, for example, test almost three years behind other New York City students).

Among Evanston children in the 6-to-8 age bracket, said Dr. Barber, malocclusions were down 20%, while those in the 12-to-14 group had 17% fewer bad bites than teen-agers in nonfluoridated communities. Fluorides, explained Dr. Barber, reduce tooth decay in the important first permanent molars; early loss of these teeth may lead to bite abnormalities and eventual braces or similar tooth-straightening appliances...
