...tired of seeing and hearing the U.S. Postal Service [May 22] picked on. They are doing an excellent job. The people are courteous and friendly, and I'm constantly amazed at the speed of service. An occasional foul-up is really insignificant considering the billions of pieces of small, fragile paper handled...
...year ago, The Children had power enough to force the resignation of Soweto's 41-member Urban Bantu Council for being too subservient to white control and to close most of the ghetto's secondary and high schools in a student-led boycott.

...inconclusive results: "Some do, some don't" perform the same way as the cars that Consumers Union examined.

...most sensible way to get around Europe is to use its incomparable railway system. The 15-hour high-speed train trip from Paris to Rome costs only $53, plus $7.82 for a couchette berth, plus $13 for cooked-aboard dinner. Every Western European country has offices in the U.S. where the tourist can buy lower-price tickets in advance. Example: for only $115, the American who plans to visit Germany can buy a rail pass good for 16 days of unlimited travel...
