...Kinds of pictures in the story. But if I don't pay any attention to anybody, well, I just won't know anything. Sometimes I look like I'm not paying any attention, but I was paying attention all along. Aug. 14 1964 written by a young girl from rural Benton County...

Among them: the fearsome College Entrance Board's, Graduate Record Exams, and specialized brain twisters for prospective lawyers, doctors, businessmen, teachers, Peace Corps volunteers, architects, insurance underwriters. This month E.T.S. starts a new program, a pilot project for first...
