...success of all three schemes hinges on the ghetto dweller's constructive use of his educational franchise. But among all urban groups, the ghetto-dweller is least prepared to contribute responsibly and thoughtfully to the education of his children. Absence of local leadership, many fear, will give the initiative to organized extremist groups. Community participation will be unrepresentative and irresponsible, with elections offering boundless opportunities for corruption. Some reformers have concluded that school restructuring will be meaningless unless accompanied by extensive urban renewal and adult education--in other words, a broad assault on all the problems of the ghetto...
...fact, one trouble is the profoundly emotional and irrational nature of many of the Arab demands and expectations?almost an inability to recognize the hard facts of life. The Arabs have seen Israel prosper on soil from which they barely scratched a living when they had it; Israel's success is not only a blow to their pride but a constant rebuke to the dismal poverty in which most of the Arab world lives...
Chasing Marlin. Evidence of the Duke's selling success is his $175,000 house that sprawls behind a seven-foot wall at Newport Beach. Amidst the semitropical garden setting are eleven rooms, seven baths and a projection studio.

He has had two previous wives (both also Latin American), four other children and twelve grandchildren...
Fine Froth. Offenbach, a dapper dynamo with a prolific melodic gift and a boffo theatrical sense, made the French comic opera of his time into the granddaddy of today's musical comedy. In Orpheus, his first big success, he took what were then scandalous liberties with the Greek legend in order to parody Gluck's opera Orfeo et Euridice, to spoof solemn antiquity worship, and to satirize the manners and morals of the Second Empire under Napoleon III. His fiddle-playing Orpheus is glad to be rid of the unfaithful Eurydice until a character called Public Opinion forces...
...luxurious spurious eyelashes, a male star is just around the corner. This time it is Richard Harris, a conversation-bugging double agent whose talent consists of electronic gimmickry and histrionic mimicry (principally of Richard Burton). The deodorant and hairspray espionage is supposed to concern itself with the sweet success of smell. But along the line it develops that Interpol is also involved. Someone has been blending hallucinogens into the cosmetics and shipping them all over the world-an LSDevice that gives the stars a chance to plod after a preposterous plot between the opening credits and the closing clinches...
