Conspicuous in the swelling stream of refugees are three groups who have special reasons for clearing out. Farmers fear increasing collectivization. Young men are alarmed at reports that the People's Police would soon be doubled in size, to counter West German rearmament. Teachers have their backs up because they were asked to plug "youth dedications"-a Communist substitute for church confirmations. Said one grammar-school teacher who fled his native Greifswald: "After all, to do harm to the church is to harm the only body in East Germany that effectively opposes the Communists...
...keep pace with the expanding demands of consumers, U.S. industry needs a steadily increasing stream of skilled and productive workers. One great manpower pool that many businessmen have neglected is handicapped workers. In 1954, according to the American Federation of the Physically Handicapped, there were 7,000,000 Americans of working age who were severely handicapped-by blindness, the loss of a limb, by tuberculosis, epilepsy, or some other crippling disease. Of the total, only a relative few were permanently employed. But the estimates are that some 4,000,000 can eventually be rehabilitated and gainfully employed. Not only would...
This is an appealing little autobiographical sketch, now published in English, by a writer who was as close to the folk stream of East European Jewish life as blintzes and borsch. In countless stories (The Old Country, Adventures of Mattel) he humorously chronicled the bittersweet life of the late 19th-century eastern ghettos-pious, self-contained, but poised on the brink of a new Diaspora to Western Europe and America. Born Solomon Rabinowitz, and raised in the little village of Voronko, Russia, the hero of The Great Fair is a "pretty boy with fat red cheeks," who can convulse...
Continuing Strike. Last week, despite the strike, a steady stream of artillery shells, precision instruments, pink washbasins and peach bathtubs flowed off the Kohler assembly lines. The company hinted that it had 3,000 men at work, as against 3,300 before the walkout, said it was operating at a profit. The union conceded that Kohler had 1,800 employees at work, but claimed that 2,800 of the 2,850 U.A.W. members who walked out last year were still holding out. The strike had already cost the union some $4,000,000 in benefits-$25 weekly to each striker...
...fault if Darwin the man almost steals the whole show. Imbedded in crustaceans, orchids, insectivorous plants and earthworms. Darwin seems at one moment the most innocent and lovable of sages, at the next the most cunning of nervous foxes. From Down House, his retreat in Kent, he issued a stream of letters to his disciples and champions, urging them on, tactfully setting them straight, occasionally punctuating his orders with childlike cries of "Oh my gracious!" Far away, in sooty London, in learned Berlin, in skeptical Paris, lesser Darwinian deities wielded his thunderbolts: bearded Titans of science grappled amid earth-shaking...
