...respected, nonprofit, nonpolitical Committee for Economic Development, made up of businessmen and educators, last week came out for more, not less, foreign aid, called for a long-range program of supplying capital (chiefly in loans) for sound development projects in underdeveloped free world nations that are making "honest efforts at self-help...
...brainstorming session took place on Laboratory, an experimental program on Boston's young (22 months) WGBH-TV, the only nonprofit educational station in the Northeast.* By insisting on distinction, and paying the occasional penalty of seeming dull, WGBH-TV has not only built up a loyal audience, but also finds ways to draw Bostonians away from the more frenetic fare of the commercial networks.

Not long after its founding, F.P. began to toe the Socialist...
...Southern newspapers played up stories of anti-integration violence, but shied away from the more significant story of desegregation's quiet progress (TIME, Jan. 17, 1955). But the Southern press is changing its ways. Last week Don Shoemaker, onetime editor of the Asheville, N.C. Citizen, who heads the nonprofit, nonpolitical Southern Education Reporting Service, said that "objectivity is clearly on the rise" in Southern news columns...
