...Close Kin. If the bones do indeed belong to a true Homo, they provide one more link in a growing chain of evidence that indicates man's direct ancestors were stalking Africa's savannas-walking upright, perhaps hunting and using tools-as long as 4 million years ago. In 1972, following in his parents' footsteps, Richard Leakey discovered a nearly complete manlike skull at nearby Lake Rudolf in Kenya that is at least 2.6 million years old. More recently, Carl Johanson of Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University, digging in Ethiopia's bleak Awash Valley...
...harassed superintendents believe that a move can be therapeutic. San Francisco's new school chief, Robert Alioto (no kin to Mayor Joseph Alioto), admits that he was not sorry to leave his old superintendent's job in Yonkers, N.Y., because there the president of the local teachers' union "has a strong dislike for me."

After wrestling thanklessly with budget problems for two years, Alflorence Cheatham resigned as the Cambridge, Mass., superintendent last spring, citing poor health.

In addition, the American Bar Association has given TIME a Certificate of Merit for its coverage of the final year of the Watergate affair. Singled out for special recognition were Senior Writer Ed Magnuson, Associate Editor Jose Ferrer...
Much of South Korea's military command and control functions are in U.S. hands. All 18 ROK army divisions, for example, are under the operational control of General Richard G. Stilwell, 58 (no kin to World War II's "Vinegar Joe"). Stilwell wears the hats of commanding general of the U.S. Eighth Army, commander in chief of the United Nations Command and commander of U.S. Forces-Korea. The crucial I Corps Group forces are commanded by Lieut. General James P. ("Holly") Hollingsworth, 57, a veteran of World War II and Viet Nam; packing a pearl-handled revolver...
