"What do I call you-your highness?" piped the bug-eyed puppet. The guest shook his head, smiled, and replied: "Most people use the name Mr. Mayor."

En route, the train serves good, moderately priced food in dining cars that sport vases of fresh carnations at every table. Not surprisingly...

In this "breakdown" period, the student may rebel, laugh, refuse to talk, curse his tormentor-but it is a time, insist the teachers, in which he can almost unconsciously absorb the toughest problem of a new language, such as complex tenses. The day ends at 6 p.m., after a 20-minute review. Then the student takes home two more hours' worth of reading and composition assignments...
