More Like Mother. As his fellow students quickly discovered, Charles is not an easy person to get to know. Though he has the hands-behind-the-back stance and long stride of his father, he lacks Prince Philip's talent for light banter. Prince Charles is, in fact, shy, withdrawn and, like his mother, painfully reserved. In his first week at Cambridge, he made no attempts to get to know fellow students, walked around the college grounds alone with his head down. He will probably mix eventually; after five years at Cheam, then five more at his father...
...Johnson last week called the persistence of worldwide illiteracy one of "the shocking facts of the 20th century." Eloquently addressing some 150 of the world's most distinguished scholars at an international conference on the world crisis in education, Johnson deplored the fact that man's "awesome talent for destruction" still competes with his "determination to build."

...left his past behind him yet. Nehemiah is secretary of Ayeleth Hashachar--a combination of mayor, personnel supervisor, presiding elder and youth coun selor. Essentially, he is responsible for the immediate well-being of 1000 men, women, and children. The job requires all the managerial talent of a Ford presidency and sets a pace that would leave any tycoon panting. He has more than handled the challenge. This is his second term as secretary, and he's been asked to stay six months beyond the usual two year period. Before it drove them out, Europe gave a generation of Israelis...
