...started out as an amateur brain scheme," Frank J. Sulloway '69, the originator of the project, said this week. Sulloway said that attempts to obtain support from educational television stations, natural history organizations, and professional moviemakers have been very encouraging, but as of yet no final decisions have been made...
Shotgun Recommendation. Appointed last summer while the riot-caused ruins of Newark and Detroit still smoldered, the eleven-member* commission had a threefold mission: 1) to record what had actually happened, 2) to find out why it happened, and 3) to suggest a scheme for heading off further troubles. The first two tasks were performed with the help of 90 staff workers in a minimum of time and with a maximum of thoughtfulness and sensitivity.

If he had any doubts, the 40 young employees (the oldest is 24) who packed their gear to return to Harnes last week had none at all. Some were already planning next winter's work and games. "I'd like to spend the whole winter skiing and working in this chalet," says 16-year-old Annabella Zozzolo. "All my buddies want to come to work for Duhamel's. I can understand why," said one of the group's four young...
