Other test data that describe self-evaluation and self-activity are worth noting, although they depend on significant differences in only the 1964 sample. The psychiatric group was lower on the Self-Acceptance Scale and higher on the Anxiety Scale. There was also an interesting difference on the Expected Control Scale of the FIRO. This test is designed to measure factors in interpersonal relationships or interpersonal needs. Expected control assesses the extent to which the individual anticipates he can and will exert control over others. To that extent, a low score represents some feeling of a lack of effectiveness...
Feinbloom's binoculars are telemicroscopes mounted bifocal-style in the lower portion of ordinary prescription glasses. Made up of four lenses (one of them a "doublet" of two lenses cemented together) separated by three sealed air spaces, the tiny, high-powered units not only provide magnification but also correct aberrations. They are focused so that the lines of vision of both eyes converge at the normal reading distance of 16 inches. Since he developed the new glasses (price $300), Feinbloom has tried them out on 360 "blind" people. He has found fewer than ten whom they failed to help...

But all these alternatives, the authors admit, would "entail an intolerable loss of status." In effect, Riesman and Jencks urge most Negro colleges to lower their sights.

Edward Martin, 87, former Pennsylvania Governor (1943-47) and two-term U.S. Senator (1947-59), a conservative Republican who believed in lower taxes and pay-as-you-go government, put his ideas into sharp effect at the statehouse by turning a $71 million deficit into a $200 million surplus in four years, went on to become the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee and a strong ally of its equally economy-minded chairman, Virginia's Harry Byrd; of a heart attack; in Washington...
