...promising effort to overcome G.I. indifference to higher education is an experiment by the City University of New York in cooperation with nearby Fort Dix, N.J. Counselors picked 22 men for survey courses in English and math to prepare them for college entry in the fall. The experiment is limited, but all of those in the Fort Dix project are either now in college or expected to enroll this September...
Running away, in American folklore, has always been considered more romantic than reprehensible. Each year, an estimated 100,000 middleaged, muddle-income American men flee the seemingly unbearable pressures of their jobs and families to seek a different life far from home.

"If I can meet all these men for $3 a month, then I'm getting my money's worth." The feeling is widespread, and a quarter of the club's 2,000 members are single women. Bank officers had expected to enroll 2,200 young Houstonians in the first year, but that goal has already been reached and 500 new members are signing up each month. More surprising, they maintain...
