Parent boards have amazed professional with the speed with which they learn the skills of managing schools and raising funds. "They stop things," says Tony Ward, the articulate, mustachioed director of the East Harlem Block Schools, "for reasons that make sense." Parents, for their part, have learned a healthy cynicism about the advice of professionals and a confidence in their own judgement. Most community groups had the help of professional educators in starting their schools, but learned to guard their own authority. "Professionals sat down in our living room and we insisted on retaining control," says Ellen Fields...
...after the 1966-67 season. His antics are still puerile (he recently hid the luggage of Boston General Manager Milt Schmidt in a hotel lobby). Still, Coach Harry Sinden concedes, "We need his loosey-goosey style around the dressing room." His skating style is just as badly needed. Deceptive speed and a boardinghouse reach enable him to keep the puck away from hard-checking defensemen, which contributes to his-and Boston's-soaring point production...
...show Park that reinforcements could be moved swiftly from the U.S. to South Korea if needed. It may have succeeded too well. The South Korean army already guards all but 18 miles of the 151-mile frontier with North Korea. South Korean officials were impressed with the speed of the U.S. airlift. But they are now worried that the U.S. may try to pull some of its forces out of Korea on the grounds that in any emergency, it could easily fly them right back. No matter how rapidly U.S. troops can be flown in, Seoul would be much happier...
...buyers, especially those who may spend anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000 for a lemon, would certainly agree. Yet the same buyers make improved quality control difficult by insisting on speed and styling at the lowest possible price. In the hot competition for customers, the need to squeeze every last dollar out of production prompts automakers to cut costs in designing their cars. An innovation that endangered 2,500,000 of the cars in last month's G.M. recall was a cam used to regulate the engine's idling speed. It was designed in plastic, which enabled...
...Later, Boeing, the contract winner, encountered major design problems: its radical swing-wing concept was an economic disaster. The engineers went back to their drawing boards and last fall came up with another SST, this time a fixed delta-wing titanium plane capable of cruising at a speed of 1,800 m.p.h. while carrying more than 250 passengers 4,000 miles...
