...missed his year-end examinations during the ordeal (his dean ordered him advanced anyway). The Moluccans, he said, had treated him reasonably well, and despite low moments, morale among the passengers had remained surprisingly high. The running joke among the group, he said, was that their endless train "ride" must mean that Holland had become a huge country...
Harvard still seems to have room to procede fairly slowly with its educational review--a much higher rate of high school seniors accept places at Harvard than anywhere else. The College can ride the crest of its reputation for a while longer, it seems, because at the moment no one else is doing a better job of defining the meaning of education in our age.

Recalls a boyhood chum, Lee Guerry: "Mostly we went to a movie, got a hamburger and then rode around in our cars watching other people ride around." The outside world intruded when the schools were ordered integrated in 1970. Mrs. Powell, a teacher for 30 years, was one of the few whites to stay in the public school system, and her family stood behind her. Powell's father Joe, incurably ill with cancer, committed suicide...
