...many such teen-agers in the bleak reaches of upper Manhattan's slums, high school is a waste of time-and public money. More often than not they drop out before graduation to take dead-end jobs, in a few years send to school another generation of hopeless pupils. But to some 450 youngsters at Manhattan's George Washington High School and Junior High School 43, an experimental teaching and guidance program offers a fair chance to complete high school, and for the brightest, a hope of going on to college.

...near Portland, Me., where dense schools of herring drift through twisted channels. Traditionally, Maine fishermen float long nets out into the channels to shunt the herring into the waiting traps. But such nets have drawbacks. They need constant maintenance, they cannot be extended across heavily traveled waterways, they are often carried away by tidal currents...
