...Board stock prices falling $6 billion in one day's trading, Wall Street last week was a cheerless place for anyone trying to peddle large blocks of stock. So discouraging was the atmosphere that long-scheduled sales of stock in two eminently solid corporations (Kellogg Co. and McGraw-Hill Publishing) were abruptly postponed by the investment bankers underwriting them. But the Street's hard-eyed moneymen took a different view when 430,000 shares of General Motors Corp.* went on the block.

The year's most important single issue is summed up in James B. Conant's Slums and Suburbs (McGraw-Hill; $3.95), a sobering report on the growing gap between have and have-not schools, with special emphasis on the "social dynamite" building up in big-city Negro ghettos. Sociologist Patricia C. Sexton's Education and Income (Viking; $6), focusing specifically on the same problem in Detroit, argues persuasively...
