Chicago, which already has 15 miles of paths along the lake front stretching from one end of the city to the other, is considering putting bikeways down the median strips of its entire boulevard system. States are finally taking action too. Last month, Wisconsin's Governor Warren P. Knowles opened a 297-mile-long bikeway that meanders across the entire state, from La Crosse in the west to Kenosha in the east, the first of its kind in the nation...

In practice, the degree and nature of such discrimination is difficult to measure, since many Negroes who would like to borrow have low incomes--median Negro income in New York City is a little more than half that of median white income--and cannot hope to measure up to the established credit standards for long-term, low-cost loans.

As a nonstop hoofer he can switch from waltz clog to Watusi without missing a step; yet so can Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. As a multivoiced mimic he can do nearly...
...professor, as will New York University. A big name can try for $25,000 at Harvard and probably get it. A sociologist at Tulane who only five years ago was drawing $10,000 now gets $21,000. And average pay is also rising. Median salary at the universities is $10,000, only slightly below economists...
