When the fall term rolls around, that familiar face with its impish grin will not be seen at Saint David's School in Manhattan. Instead, John F. Kennedy Jr. will attend Collegiate School. No reason was given by Jacqueline Kennedy for the switch from Saint David's, run by Catholic laymen, to Collegiate, a nondenominational school traditionally linked to the Dutch Reformed Church. One report says she balked at a recommendation that John be kept in second grade another year until he matures a bit; according to that story, he was often restless and inattentive in class. Others...
...COMBAT considers as its 'target areas' the Old Left and the New Left; the rebellious student groups; the peaceniks and the draft-card burners; leftward-drifting churchmen; the 'marchers'; the hippies; sections of the communications media."

Whittico Jr., 51, had a head start as the son of a successful physician, is now a general surgeon and fellow of the American College of Surgeons and has staff privileges at nine St. Louis hospitals. But even he had a rough time in the 1950s, when two Negro hospitals were closed down and white hospitals were not accepting Negroes. And today, he notes, fully one-fifth of the other 65 black doctors in St. Louis have no staff posts. Whittico has had ten referrals from white doctors in 17 years. Only...
...racist environment," says Manhattan's Dr. John V. Cordice Jr., "a Negro is better received where there's a minimum of contact with patients. For example, a radiologist-all he does is look at X rays. A pathologist is acceptable because he deals only with cadavers and specimens. A pediatrician is pretty well received; somehow, it's all right for a black man or black woman to handle children-an extension of the black-nanny syndrome...
