...leading spots of pairs are negative in the northern hemisphere during one eleven-year cycle, they are positive during the next. Even more remarkable, the overall solar magnetic field reverses near the peak of each cycle, the north and south magnetic poles trading places. This strange behavior may result from distortions in the magnetic fields caused by the sun's uneven rate of rotation; for still-unknown reasons, the equatorial regions rotate around the solar axis every 25 days, regions at higher latitudes every 33 days. This strange phenomenon is possible because the sun is a gaseous rather than...
Unfortunately, the evidence so far is that while activist students have fully absorbed their parents' social concern, they have not inherited their tactical moderation. In the long run, the result could be very disillusioning for the parents...
...clients who resist agency proposals, they are often labeled as "un-insightful," assigned low priorities for job programs and all but written off as hopeless cases.

Too many agencies for the blind offer their clients few choices for job training except a "sheltered workshop," where they make simple handicrafts and numbly acquire "skills and methods of production that may be unknown in most commercial industries." Before long, the trap has quietly closed. Now psychologically blind, Scott charges, the patient is "maladjusted...
...life." Although such public distaste is deep, Scott says, the agencies have made few educational efforts to change it. He also contends that the agencies tend to restrict their services to those blind people whom the public finds most acceptable: children with no other handicaps and employable adults.

Faced with the spiraling cost of its program, New Mexico this month cut off assistance to the 63,000 people on its Medicaid rolls. As a result, many elderly Medicaid recipients began an exodus from nursing homes, causing the State Department of Hospitals and Institutions to devise a "disaster plan" to find beds for the displaced. The irony of New Mexico's agony is that it was totally unnecessary. In March, State Budget Chief Waldo Anton (who has since resigned) persuaded the legislature to avoid an expected deficit by canceling Medicaid. He had been told by regional officers...
