...example, the idea that delinquents are physically unhealthy children. The Glueck's findings show that, if anything, the delinquents were in better health than the non-delinquents: 91 per cent were rated in good health as compared with 88 per cent of the non-delinquents, according to a standard medical examination...
...years, the standard Russian schoolboy uniform resembled a kind of Junior Red Army outfit, with high-buttoned tunic and heavy-visored cap. Since Stalin's death, the uniform has come under increasing fire as unbecoming and warlike. Last week boys in Moscow and Leningrad showed up with the official new look: an open-lapelled jacket, to be worn with shorts or long pants and topped by a casual European beret.

The essayist exhorts all future writers of Harvard Square sex-fiction to probe more deeply into the unhappiness which is the apparent outcome in most of the stories under discussion, and come up with a moral framework which is bigger, better and all in all more valid than that which exists or is in the process of ceasing...
