As administrator of the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs, Schwartz had worked for a relaxation of curbs on immigration, travel and the admission of refugees.

The two vaulters met at a track meet in San Diego last summer, hit it off well from the start. They traveled to Brazil together last fall, and in January moved into a four-room apartment in Glendale furnished mainly with prizes won by Pennel...
Identification Value. Staircase's success is a sweet surprise to Miss Kaufman, a vivacious divorcee and mother of two (her son is a Berkeley graduate student, her daughter a University of Wisconsin senior), who quit the New York City school system after 17 intermittent years as a high school English teacher to write her book. "I thought teachers would find it to be true," she says. "But I had no idea it would sweep the country."
