...Hill. The score was 22-0 deep in the second quarter, and the Elis seemed headed for an effortless victory. Then Harvard discovered a Merriwell of its own. Off the bench to replace the Crimson's harried regular Quarterback George Lalich, trotted Second Stringer Frank Champi, 20. A local boy from Everett, Mass., Champi's athletic reputation was based on his record as a javelin thrower...
Money over Matter. Not really. Truth is that while the Raiders scored their two decisive touchdowns, NBC was leading into Heidi with a six-second spot for NBC's Monday Night at the Movies, a 60-second commercial, a ten-second promotional blurb for local stations and a five-second dance by the NBC peacock-a full 81 seconds, all of them eminently cuttable.

...state-appointed trustee, Associate Education Commissioner Herbert F. Johnson, for the experimental Ocean Hill-Brownsville decentralized district, which was the focus of the dispute; he will remain in charge of the area's eight schools until tensions have relaxed.

Thousands of previously uninvolved city parents, white and black, who had been content to let the schools run themselves, became personally involved in their children's schools, and their operation. Those who were "radicalized" by the strike are not likely to continue to let the professional-teacher, supervisor, board-of-education bureaucrat-have full...
...representatives. School officials failed to support a United Steelworkers plan to open a community college in Youngstown that would have provided more opportunities for high-level vocational instruction. The main source of friction was a rivalry over who should represent the city's teachers in contract negotiations: the local affiliate of the National Education Association or the growing Youngstown Federation of Teachers, an A.F.L.-C.I.O. unit. The school board consistently favored the N.E.A. group, which is nonunion...
