Opinions differ on how the Government should deal with the irregular economy. The Lasswell-McKenna report on Bedford-Stuyvesant calls for legalizing gambling as a means of taking the play away from criminals. A measure that would amend the constitution to legalize gambling is now before the New York legislature. Poor blacks tend to be against such a change because they distrust government, and they figure that the proceeds from gambling would be taken away from the black numbers runners and other local operatives. In addition, numbers men now extend credit to their customers, but legal betting parlors demand cash...
...strictly a service news in the summer of '43, when it first became the University's only newspaper. But tucked in among columns by and for army and navy trainees--The Lucky Bag, Scuttlebut, Ward Room Topics, Specialist's Corner, Creating a Ripple, and the like--was an irregular bylined feature called "Passing the Buck," Written by the Service News first editor, Robert S. Landau '45, who later was killed in naval action in the invasion of Lingayen Gulf, the Philippines, the column attacked a "back-handed diatribe" in the Boston Herald, demanded resumption of gridiron hostilities with Yale...
...INTERFACE, developed by Boat Builder Ken Mobert of San Rafael, Calif., is played on a Y-shaped board with 108 squares and 18 irregular quadrilaterals. Six of the quadrilaterals -which are located in the triangular zone, or interface, where the three sectors of the board meet-are colored red and called "transit points." As in traditional chess, each player starts out with a regulation army of 16 pieces -red, black or white-which move in the standard way, unless they land on a transit point. Then strange things can happen. A bishop, for example, can transfer from a diagonal...
Hesse called Hangup "the most ridiculous structure I ever made, and that is why it is really good. It has a kind of depth of soul of absurdity." The form of her later pieces-ragged sheets of latex, irregular fiber-glass cylinders strewn at random on the floor, tangled webs of rubbery cord hanging from the ceiling like a three-dimensional version of Pollock drips-is partly an effort to give sculpture the fluidity of abstract-expressionist painting and partly a direct celebration of incongruity. Decoration, she believed, was "the only art sin." It was not a peccadillo she ever...
...revision of the rules, the Ministry of National Education has announced a broad program of reform to start next fall. The old dictées will give way to exercises designed to help a student's development. No longer will pupils be compelled to memorize long lists of irregular verbs, or to suffer punitive homework consisting of copying conjugations a hundred times over. Indeed the ministry described the traditional teaching of grammar as a "plague." Instead, children will be encouraged to talk and act freely in class. Even the scratchy pens with which French children learned to write...
