...conviction grew in the creative writing course that he taught at Manhattan's Walden School. There, Lewis developed a profound respect for the spontaneity and grace with which youngsters can compose poetry. In 1964, he spent ten months on a tour of English-speaking countries that took him through the British Isles, Africa, India, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Canada and most of the United States. From schools, from the secret notebooks of children too shy to recite, and from the mouths of children too young to write, he collected 3,000 poems or almost-poems, the best...
...result, says Prokofiev, is that many students are convinced "that they are not receiving any profound and lasting education. They want to quit." The dropout rate has reached the point where 30% of the pupils who enter first grade do not finish eighth. In some regions, half of those who finish eighth grade fail to enter the two-year high schools.

Wearied by burdensome defense spending and convinced that the Soviet threat had all but vanished, the Continent's statesmen were seeking ways to eradicate the last lingering memories of the cold war. In Bonn last week, Europe's venerable integrationist, Jean Monnet...
...success of a marriage. Only in the closest of unions would a husband succeed in buying the right kind of antique Wedgwood vase; and if he knows the correct size for a half-slip, he almost knows too much. On the other hand, it takes more than love-profound intuition and knowledge of character-for a wife to choose the right necktie for her husband. In marital giving, moveover, there is a subtle language: the pingpong table as a gentle hint to the husband who does not spend enough time with his family; the overly luxurious gift from a straying...
