Doman and Carl Delacato, a remedial-reading specialist at the Philadelphia Institutes, have also produced a reading kit, which includes word cards, parents' manual and child's book.

...stumpy Tip Himes started the Yale rally by beating the Crimson's Jeff Grant 4-2 at 177. Wrestling 191, Kit Dove pinned Bill Malugen of Harvard at 2:39, and turned out to be his own best fan. As soon as the referee's hand hit the floor to signal a fall, Dove ran off the mat, literally shrieking with joy, flinging his headguard to the rafters and bowling over a teammate who made the mistake of trying to congratulate...
