...test means of the two races are still divergent, the range of performance-from the most retarded idiot to the most brilliant genius-is much the same in the two groups. Some Negro children achieve IQs into the gifted range (130 or over) and right up to the testable limit of 200." For three years running, the highest scholastic achievement among Australian state schools was registered by one composed exclusively of Aboriginal children...
Reason for Secrecy. More often than not, underground churches are as clandestine as spy rings, have neither a name nor a formal organization, limit membership to a trusted few. In this sense, at least, they resemble the cells of the zealous Catholic lay organization Opus Dei (TIME, May 12). A major reason for so much secrecy is that the interfaith membership includes renewal-minded priests and nuns who fear the wrath of their bishops for taking part in illegal services.* Nonetheless, many of these clerics regard the services at underground churches as far more meaningful than Catholicism's official...
Some 11,000 Detroit teachers, including 6,400 members of the American Federation of Teachers, will get raises of $850 annually for two years, work one week less a year, enjoy a bigger voice in textbook selection and curriculum changes.

Unhappy school-board members could only shrug their shoulders when asked where most of the $18.7 million for pay raises will come from, nod hopefully toward the state legislature...

The recommended statutory limit "defies common sense," writes Campbell, by being set at a level where even a chronic alcoholic's driving ability is seriously hampered...
...much alcohol in the blood is a practical limit for someone who is driving? Campbell says .05%. In Norway, where drinking is a factor in only 5.7% of serious accidents, that has been the legal limit since 1926. How much can a person drink before his blood alcohol level reaches .05%? Campbell cites an Australian experiment in which ten prominent citizens drank two glasses of white wine, two glasses of red wine, a glass of port, and a brandy or liqueur before, after and during a four-course dinner. In eight out of the ten, the blood alcohol stayed below...
