A three-year-old lies on a rubber mat, arranging a washbasin and cups; a five-year-old, blindfolded with a blue eyeshade, feels a sphere, a cube, a cylinder, following out some blueprint in his mind. - See EDUCATION, Montessori in the Slums...

...brother's assassination. "I believe it was done by a man with the name of Oswald," Kennedy replied, "who was a misfit in society. There is no question that he did it on his own and by himself." He said, for the dozenth time, that he would step down as Attorney General after the November elections. Later, still musing about the possibilities, he said he just might spend a year in England...
