...working principles shaped during successful interventions in suburban educational crises, like the one following the first Sputnik in 1957. They might have worked in the cities, except for one thing: as the Ed School poked tentatively at urban problems over the last few years, the ghetto challenged everything it stood for in the past
...Miss Susan Wall, 69, stood accused of killing a woman because of a grudge. The prosecution was confident of its case, and had a star witness who had driven Miss Wall to the victim's home shortly before the killing. But last week, after a day and a half had been spent selecting the jury, Miss Wall's lawyer broke into the proceedings to ask for a conference in chambers.

Golfers at Bellehurst's Los Coyotes Country Club were forced to climb over rotting piles of lumber and weed-cracked concrete slabs when they tracked...
...Delilah displays all of DeMille's virtues and few of his faults. Despite a mawkish prologue ("Human dignity perished on the altar of Idolatry"), the mating of liberty with monotheism is less corny than in The Ten Commandments.
