...measured by the SAT. Cameron of the College Board agrees that his organization has shifted its rhetoric on the effects of long-term coaching, but he denies any deliberate misrepresentation, saying, "We came to the realization that the distinction was not clear to students." He joins ETS vice president Rex Jackson in maintaining that short-term drill-and-technique instruction will have insignificant results...
Nowhere is the shift more apparent than in the field of civil rights. In briefs before the Supreme Court two weeks ago, Solicitor General Rex E. Lee startled the legal community by arguing that there was no "federal interest" in the questions of whether states can exclude the children of illegal aliens from public schools and whether it is unconstitutional for the states to ban voluntary busing. Both positions mark an abrupt break from previous Administrations-Republican as well as Democratic-and the first retreat on civil rights enforcement since the Truman era.

Once an hour, WCVB-TV--Boston's Channel 5 and one of the 231 stations on the telethon's "Love Network," take over, and it's time for local celebrities. Not Harry Ellis Dickson, not Elma Lewis, not Charles Laquidara. It's Rex Trailer, a former cowboy who had a Saturday morning children's T.V. show about seven years ago.

But he is perhaps 20 years older than Higgins, the most irascible misogynist since Jack the Ripper, ought to be. Neither Shaw nor Lerner ever indicated that the professor...
...cherries that have been embalmed, as maraschinos are-bleached white with formaldehyde and then dyed. Breyers and other producers of the natural article make do with the real thing-dark red to black, imperfect and not dyed. At the other end of the frozen rainbow from Breyers are Marty Rex and Marcel Arsenault. They were writing their doctoral dissertations in molecular biology ten years ago at the University of Colorado at Boulder, when Arsenault's homemade ice cream turned out to be so popular at parties they tried selling a few gallons to stores during the summer break. They...
