...came with awesome speed. At one moment on Ash Wednesday morning, there were a few isolated bush fires guttering on the slopes of Mount Wellington above the capital; the next minute it seemed that all Hobart was ablaze. Fanned by winds that rose to 70 m.p.h. and abetted by 102° temperatures, the bush fires formed an 80-mile-long scythe of flame that slashed toward the coast, cutting off the entire southern half of the island. The flames trapped busloads of tourists in the apple country and carloads of fleeing farmers; they swept into Hobart's suburbs, blowing...
...public universities inches nearer the level of charges at private schools. Every year, also, there is a widening gap between tuition charges for state residents and those who cross the borders. In effect, outsiders are helping to subsidize local students. Out-of-state tuition at the state schools rose 19.9% in 1965, climbed another 6.5% last year, has reached a median of $782. The number of these schools charging nonresidents more than $900 a year has risen from nine to 33 in the past two years. Vermont, which levies outsiders $1,500, can no longer keep its desired fifty-fifty...

He kept insisting that Texas law required an autopsy before the body of a murdered man could be released. (Rose last week called the account "not consistent with events...
...Jones sinks into a too perceptive, responsive state. Both have passable accents; neither appears to strain to preserve it. I don't think Arthur Friedman looks like the forty-year-old man called for in the strip. This distorts his relation to Bill, a man in his twenties who rose from the lower classes by Harry's grace. The last member of the company, Sheila Hart, does an adequate job with the relatively small part of Stella, the maybe-sinner...
...Negroes (and increasingly for whites as well). A quarter of all non-white births and almost half of first births (and in one large city for which data are available, near to two-thirds of first births) are out of wedlock. The illegitimate first child (the non-white rate rose from 39.5 per cent in 1955, to 47.4 per cent in 1964) seems a particularly poignant problem, as it almost certainly decimates the bargaining power of a young Negro girl with the world around her. Illegitimacy is a painful subject, but one is surprised in this age of the Foul...
