...makings of a clash were all too familiar. As hundreds of blacks from inner-city Louisville climbed off buses in front of suburban, previously white Fairdale High School last week, they were met by a crowd of nervous whites waiting at the schoolhouse door. Instead of protests, however, the blacks were greeted with handshakes, sandwiches and soft drinks. "We couldn't have written a script and followed it any better," said Don Matlock, Fairdale's assistant principal. "They're pleased with us and we're pleased with them...
...young Bronfman has told investigators he is "sure" that one of his abductors was a woman. He recalls being pushed into the back seat of a car when the kidnapers seized him outside the unoccupied home of his mother, Ann Loeb Bronfman, in suburban Purchase, N.Y., in the early morning hours of Aug. 9. He is certain that Lynch sat beside him on the seat, and he believes a third person was seated next to Lynch. Bronfman thinks that it was a woman because at one point, the car stopped, someone got out, and he heard the rap of high...
...there are several other potential trouble spots round the nation. In Indianapolis, whose school system is 42% black, a federal appeals court last week stayed a lower court's ruling that would have required eight suburban school districts to accept enough black pupils from downtown to increase their black enrollment to 15%; the stay order is expected to be appealed.

In Philadelphia's school system...

In Stockholm's outskirts, where the mercury rose to 95° for the first time since 1811, a heat-crazed elk burst out of the woods, plunged into a suburban swimming pool and splashed madly back and forth before finally being rescued by amused firemen. While Moscow shivered under cold blasts from the north that plunged temperatures into the mid-30s and brought topcoats out of summer storage, the Siberian city of Verkhoyansk-the coldest spot on earth, with temperatures...
...Peggy Lee practice it. So do thousands of other Americans, both famous and unfamous. Their passion, Transcendental Meditation, was not much more than a student cult when it first caught on in the '60s. But today TM, as its devotees call it, claims a fast-growing following among suburban housewives, businessmen, athletes and even retirees. The number of active TM practitioners has jumped from about 250,000 two years ago to more than 575,000 at present. Now TM has achieved indisputable certification as a full-blown nationwide fad: not one but two books extolling the movement are high...
