...molded young minds at the turn of the century are right. But Cicero's assassin was not John Dewey alone. It was a combination of child-labor laws, compulsory school attendance, the growing need for vocational training, and the Depression, which sent jobless teenagers scurrying to school for shelter. In 1910 thousands of 15-year-olds had full-time jobs; in 1930 about 90% were in school. Result: an entirely different breed of students, with widely varying abilities. No educational system in history has ever been presented with a broader job-or opportunity...

The first for-sale version of the house, one of two now abuilding, sold to an about-to-retire Army major who once studied radiation effects, broke off negotiations on another house when he heard of Hoerner's shelter, said: "That...
...church, and this time no one was bored. For five years, he developed his somber theme in preaching missions throughout northern Italy. In 1490 he was back in Florence, and the words rang out: "I am the hailstorm that shall break the heads of those who do not take shelter...
