...that is what the liberal movement is courting--disaster, both for itself and for the nation. (Which is more important? one wonders.) To insist that there is no difference between Kennedy and Nixon is not only suicidal: it is to obscure the difference between life and death. When has the Republican Party stood for truly liberal ideals? Even Governor Rockefeller asks only for bigger and better bomb-shelters...

Unsatisfied, welfare officials continued to denounce Teacher Joralemon's educational philosophy. Teaching tots the alphabet too early, they insist, may lead to "acne and personality problems in adolescence." The school cannot legally open next month-unless Mrs. Joralemon changes her ways. Last week one of her stoutest supporters, famed Chemist Joel Hildebrand of the University of California, appealed to the state's Advisory Commission on Education.
