SEGREGATION IS NO SOUTHERN MONOPOLY. The vast Negro influx into Northern cities is spreading a new problem: de facto segregation. In New York City more than half the schools are in fact "segregated." Result: lower standards, poorer teachers, glaring evidence that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." Last week proudly tolerant New Yorkers were reminded that the nation's leading unfinished morality play is being staged on their own doorsteps, as well as in Atlanta and Little Rock. For a provocative report on a subtle sociological disease, see EDUCATION...
...aloud in the locker room that the pains in his stomach meant an ulcer. In the first inning Neal gave his stomach cause for more pain by botching a double-play ball, opened the way for two quick Sox runs. But in the fifth, Neal grimly homered into the lower left-field stands for a run-the first time the Dodgers had scored in 14 innings. Suddenly, all seemed right with the Dodgers. An unknown outfielder named Chuck Essegian rose from the bench in the seventh to pinch-hit, swatted another homer. Two batters later, Neal came back...
Declining Rates. Largely because the Soviets operate from a lower base, the Soviet economy is growing faster than the U.S. economy.

But now a major change is on the way, and the growth rate is on the wane. Going out is crude coercion of the worker; coming in is personal incentive. This shift, says Nove, requires a major diversion of Soviet resources to the nongrowth sectors that...
...found where and when, how it can be recognized and what it means in the complicated economy of nature. Winter visitors to New York regularly include the bald eagle, who rides the ice floes down the Hudson as far as Dyckman Street. Muskrat houses can be found in the lower end of the Van Cortlandt swamp; the eastern cottontail is common in the fields and thickets of Staten Island; the northern brown snake inhabits Central Park...
...stock market, which has drifted steadily lower for seven weeks, last week apparently found bottom. In two days stocks bounded up 16.40 points to 632.85 on the Dow-Jones industrial index, the biggest increase in seven months. The slide had not been caused by heavy selling but by a lack of buyers; volume had been thin. Many a broker guessed that the 615-to-620 level, where the market had found strong support last week, may turn out to be a firm bottom from which the market will rise to new peaks...
