"It is a pattern of hopelessness and helplessness, a view of the world and oneself as static, limited and irredeemably expendable. Poverty, in short, is a condition of being in which one's past and future meet in the present ? and go no further...
Such total commitment is rare, but there are many examples of effective effort. In Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley last summer, Dr. Curtis Stevens, a white psychologist, opened his backyard swimming pool to Negro children, and was soon playing host to two shifts a day, five days a week. By the end of summer, as Stevens' example spread, 2,000 Negro youngsters were regularly and happily splashing in 22 private pools. With the help of volunteers, both black and white, Cleveland Adman Frank T. McDonough, 64, re-sodded lawns in a seven-block area in Hough, the city...

Using rats and mice, some researchers have achieved experimental results that seem to prove statistically that learning, or memory, can indeed be transferred by injecting the brain extract of one animal into the brain of another. But since the tests were difficult to duplicate, the results could never be properly validated. Now a Baylor University scientist, writing in Nature, has reported an experiment that...
