Under Rockefeller's program-which he signed into law at week's end-New York will pay up to 50% of the cost of shelter building at schools and colleges, provide $15 million for shelters at state-run institutions. Although the program may cost $100 million or more, the state's taxpayers will not have to dig down for extra cash: the law merely unfreezes money that was originally set aside for new roads, and that became available for shelter use when Congress failed to provide sufficient matching funds. The legislation includes stiff penalties aimed at contractors...
Away from Heaven. In 1955 Mary Bunting was offered the deanship of Douglass College, the women's branch of New Jersey's state-run Rutgers University, and her decision was characteristic. She felt she had to show her children that people move on, even from "heaven." As it turned out, Douglass fascinated her.

Virtually all the comfortable old neighborhood Bierstuben have been forced out of business. Today the German worker must take his evening glass of beer at the big, bleak, state-run HO halls, where portraits of Lenin and old Spitzbart (pointed beard, i.e., Ulbricht) look down mockingly from the walls...
Crusader Hiss (a third cousin of Alger) went on to help Sarasota start the state's first program for gifted children and its first merit pay system for teachers, then threw himself into Sarasota's campaign for a college. It failed when the new Florida Presbyterian College went to St. Petersburg and Tampa got the state-run University of South Florida. But the Congregationalists' Board of Home Missions listened. With well-heeled Sarasota willing and able to raise $4,000,000, the Congregationalists have promised $600,000 over ten years, plus expert help-and a guarantee...
