Now, four years later, the results are trickling in, and they constitute a near disaster for backers of the environmental approach to urban school problems. "There's no place in the country," says one Ed School researcher about compensatory education, where you can say, 'Look, it's worked...

One can state that gene structure accounts for 80 per cent of the difference in observed heights of all white males in the U.S. But one cannot say that gene structure accounts for eight of the ten inches of different in height between Jim and Ben.

It was encouraging to hear Mr. Volpe say, in his first press conference as Secretary of Transportation, that "highways alone won't do the job. In practically any major metropolitan center you are going to have to think in terms of rapid transit...
