...Begun, tears streamed down her cheeks, but not from sentiment. "I was weeping for all the bright-faced children who were leaving their last chance behind," she writes in Getting Ready (Morrow; $7.95). Her new book is both a remarkable chronicle of a white family's confrontation with inner-city schools and a harsh indictment of an educational system that is a disaster for most of its pupils...
...Stalvey children-Spike, 18, Noah, 15, and Sarah, 14-are still in Philadelphia's public schools (Spike, in fact, the only white student in all but one of his classes), and Lois Stalvey still clings to hope for the inner-city schools.

Always a much more complex man than his natural ebullience and everpresent pipe suggest, he provides few glimpses of his inner self and has no close political cronies. At 58, his tastes, like his upbringing as the son of a Yorkshire industrial chemist, are unpretentious: detective stories, raspberries, a nip of brandy. Each summer, he spends three weeks in his cottage on the desolate Scilly Isles (where a local Tory...
