Dashing hysterically to the school, panicky mothers in pin curls and slacks retrieved their children, led them home through a 20-block area strewn with hunks of fallen metal, fragments of Fiberglas insulation, oxygen tanks. Though wreckage had pierced walls and roofs, no one outside the Junior High schoolyard was seriously hurt. From Los Angeles in the wake of the crash came angry demands for federal controls. But in the San Fernando Valley, anger was tempered by sorrow, and death had wiped magic from the air and sparkling sun. Gathering her child to her tightly, a mother said sadly: "Living...
...emergency room, Dr. Joseph Belshe made an instant decision: with out waiting even to wash his hands, he ripped open Fruehling's heavy clothes, made a 7-in. incision over the heart, and plunged his hand in to massage the stilled organ. A nurse administered oxygen. Drs. Fred Riegel and Dean Ericksen joined Belshe.

Wyeth, impressed and moved by her spirit and courage, set out to paint her during her twice-daily rest periods...
...blind children into regular classes, but most states have relied on special residential schools, where the blind live and learn only among their own kind. Then, in the 1940s, hundreds of premature infants, though saved by incubators, were stricken with retrolental fibroplasia and blindness because of an overexposure to oxygen. As these children grew to school age, the integration movement finally got going in earnest. Today, scores of cities across the U.S. are now giving sightless children a full chance at a normal schooling...
