...primeval beauty bordered by 600-ft. limestone cliffs, is known as the Grand Canyon of the East. Daniel Boone is supposed to have holed up there, and the surrounding national forest bears his name. Carved out of the Cumberland Plateau, it is an almost otherworldly wonderland of castle rock formations, soaring pinnacles and natural arches. It is also a refuge for some 50 species of mammals and 275 species of birds...
Time to Learn. Rough Rock was the first such beolta, and it won such enthusiastic support among the Navahos that Roessel and tribal leaders felt encouraged to try the next step. They got a $457,000 grant from OEO to start the community college in a borrowed building. They got $200,000 more from tribal funds, and $60,000 from the William H. Donner Foundation...
...working model: the Rough Rock Demonstration School, an elementary school that was started in 1966 with support from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Office of Economic Opportunity, but has an all-Navaho school board with total administrative authority.

It was not so much a country twang that Dylan...
...from two informative stories on inequities in the U.S. welfare system and homosexuality in a state prison, 60 Minutes has drawn most of its items from the world of pop sociology. Lighthearted bits have been aired on the ski boom, shoplifting and the esthetics of ugliness. One piece on Rock Singer Janis Joplin might better have been on the Ed Sullivan Show. Seemingly for lack of imagination, the CBS magazine has built many of its more serious stories around interviewing celebrities. Too often, television inquisitors seem content with the most flatulent answers, though in one feisty exchange with Student Leader...
