...Castro Circus at Camarioca, the "international port" that Castro created 65 miles east of Havana for use by refugees. Among the first U.S. newsmen to visit was TIME Correspondent Richard Duncan. The port's main feature is a fenced-off compound sprawling across some four acres along the narrow Camarioca River. At the dock, an "immigration official" introduced himself ("just call me Roberto") and motioned toward 300 Cubans milling around across the river. "When a boat arrives for them," he said, "we will notify them and admit them here for processing." The people waited late into the night, visible...
Outside Pomona, Calif., one development has built houses with a pretentious name ("Tiffany") but a practical attraction: a covered swimming pool just half a dozen steps away from the kitchen. Prices for the houses: $22,450 to $33,450. Other amenities offered by builders now include long, narrow windows that extend from ground to roof: hi-fi systems with outlets in every room: and television hookups between front door and kitchen so that housewives can see who is calling...
When the fighting against the Congolese rebels tailed off six months ago, Premier Moise Tshombe knew the war was not fully won. His troops had never dared attack the Simbas' mountain redoubt of Fizi, located high above Lake Tanganyika and reachable only by roads so narrow and precipitous that they are impassable during rainstorms.

What they overlook is the present nature of upper-level General Education courses: a hodge-podge of brilliant courses, that provide general education by any definition, and very narrow all-but-departmental courses. Someone is going to have to go over the roster of these courses carefully and decide whether the "History of the Book," "Narrative in Oral Literature," or "The Planets: Their Environments and Inhabitants" should be permitted to remain on a list of courses that can satisfy...
...Improvement depends basically, in our opinion, upon breaking down the narrow and isolating conceptions that confine education on all sides. Education is not simply an affair of the classroom, nor is the study of education merely a professional subject required of prospective teachers. Education is better conceived broadly as an organizing perspective from which all problems of culture and learning may be viewed. To place the issues of professional practice within such a context is to relate it to the whole life of the university. The special task of a university School of Education is to facilitate such relationship...
