...would be strictly on its own, with only tuition grants for support. It could not possibly take over the public system's job. It could not buy enough school buildings from the state, because of reversion clauses specified by the original land donors; it could not begin to pay for new buildings. It could not keep teachers in the state during the changeover, or raise salaries high enough to attract new ones, or curb grafters with paws in the poorly policed tuition-grant till.

Tower of Hope. World War II's crash programs on many scientific fronts brought Dr. Rhoads to another conclusion unpopular in medical circles: a frontal attack on cancer, with experts in a dozen sciences working toward the same goal, should pay off faster than the traditional uncoordinated approach of peacetime. In General Motors' Boss Alfred P. Sloan Jr. he found a kindred spirit.

Some noncoms, as well as officers, may now marry, and officers' wives need no longer bring a dowry of 50,000 lire ($80). One surprising innovation: guards may now act as guides in their spare time, engage in other "cultural" activities, provided they are not "indecorous...
