...would have been before if averaged together). The national ninth-grade median IQ is 101.5-Washington's is now 94. But while Negroes generally score lower than whites, there has also been consistent progress since integration. Most Negro children, notably the youngest, are advancing each year at the pace regarded as normal for whites. More and more Negroes are also breaking through into the honors classes of many high schools...
...Time in Berlin. Reading slowly at lecture pace from a prepared text, .Premier Khrushchev announced: "The time has come when the powers who signed the Potsdam agreement should give up the remnants of the German occupation regime. The Soviet Union, for its part, will hand over those functions which it still retains in Berlin to the sovereign German Democratic Republic [meaning Communist-run East Germany], and the U.S., French and British can form their own relations with East Germany if they still have questions about Berlin...
Bill Austin (Rutgers) was just another promising football player when he graduated from Scotch Plains (N.J.) high school, but blossomed under the Rutgers single wing into a one-man wrecking crew.

I fear nothing can be done about this shortcoming...
...whom there are legions. The French eagerly took to Angélique as a serial in France-Soir. It ran for more than a year, time enough to catch a breath between one night's adventure and the next. The reader of the 890-page U.S. translation must pace himself, and should be warned that the author is one up on him from the beginning. Novelist "Sergeanne" Colon is not one person but two-an apparently indefatigable French man-and-wife team (Serge and Anne) who claim to have primed themselves with 300 volumes of history before painting their...
