In some of the strongest abuse it has yet heaped on Khrushchev, Red China labeled Moscow's Cuban retreat "appeasement" and accused the Kremlin of trying to "play the Munich scheme against the Cuban peopie." Day after day, mass rallies of schoolchildren and workers shouted themselves hoarse to back Castro; the regime flooded cities and towns with millions of militant pamphlets...

The increasingly competitive admissions crush at Andover does not mean that public schools are being abandoned: only 2-3% of U.S. schoolchildren go to the nation's 2,400 independent schools (more than half of them day schools).

...feature). Striker, who sold the rights to Lone Ranger, continued to write the scripts. He turned out some 3,000 half-hour shows, all of which glorified justice, cowboy good conduct and loyalty to the Lone Ranger's Indian friend Tonto. Faithfully tuned in by uncounted millions of schoolchildren for 29 years, the ringing prologue ("From out of the West come the thundering hoofbeats . . .'') and the Lone Ranger's cry of "Hi Ho, Silver, Away!" to his great white stallion, became part of the American idiom...
