...Grass Roots Grow. Though Fall River citizens have reason to envy a good education-only 3% are college graduates, and almost 40% never finished grammar school-Fradkin at first doubted that many could spare even $1. The average annual salary in the town, a once flourishing cotton manufacturing center, was $3,000. But in the first year he raised $4,500 to finance 24 scholarships...
...National A.A.U. championships on blustery Randall's Island, N.Y., were ample proof that the country has champions to spare. And since the squad that takes off this week for a U.S.-U.S.S.R. dual meet in Moscow was to be chosen from the A.A.U.'s top performers, it seemed certain that the U.S. would field a wellrounded, unbeatable team...

Although clearly unfit for service -he was overage and had severe astigmatism, in addition to bad knees-Goldwater bluffed his way past the physical exam*. Assigned to Phoenix's Luke Field in a nonflying post, he bummed rides in his spare time, demanded a check-out flight -and got his wings. Later he ferried P-47s across the North Atlantic, saw action in the Mediterranean and C.B.I, theaters, emerged from the war a lieutenant colonel. Now a Reserve brigadier general, Goldwater has flown in some 75 different types of aircraft, including...
