...Israeli officials, the refugees' lack of interest in becoming citizens of the Jewish state seems like rank ingratitude and an affront to Zionist faith. The refugees, however, regard their free choice of a country as a natural human right that had long been denied them in the U.S.S.R. Many Russian Jews have been put off by reports of difficult conditions for refugees in Israel. Others are plainly fearful of subjecting themselves and their children to the ever present danger of war with the Arab world. Asked one would-be U.S. immigrant from the Soviet Union: "After having suffered...
...honored to have as its guest Mr. Charles Gordone--playwright, director and recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in 1970.

As for pediatricians, he asks: "What kind of intellect opts to spend the better part of its professional life with diaper rash...
...many inner-city schools are as much ghettos of education as their surroundings are ghettos of life. Their teachers go through the motions of teaching. Their pupils seem more interested in vandalism than vocabulary. The parents regard the schools as alien, unfriendly territory. It need not be so. Two inner-city schools in Illinois and Connecticut are proving that it is possible to be not only effective centers of learning but also centers of community activity and hope. Though their methods differ in some ways, one factor is common to both and available to all: getting the parents more involved...
