...Dyslexia is often a contributing cause of people's need to seek welfare aid. In a program for education of adult, unemployed heads of household, we have found that about 31% of the enrollees have dyslexia.

...good thing Professor Miner likes to teach only small classes; this restricts the number of students receiving misinformation from him. Anyone who has read anything on evolutionary theory published in the last 20 to 30 years knows better than to make such remarks about the saber-toothed cats. Thirty-five million years ago, during Oligocene time, the saber-toothed cat pattern was essentially frozen. In some cats, the length of the saber was proportionately as great as or greater than that of the culminating species in the ice age. Thirty-five million years is a pretty fair length of time...

He is singularly attuned to the many nuances of modern Communism and has suggested bold departures in American policy to capitalize on the changes currently taking place in the Communist world. At 38, he is also young enough to charge headfirst into the perennial problems that will...
...World War II victim of leg injuries from machine-gun fire, he had to get a fitness clearance. When Orthopedist Hugh L. Sulfridge Jr. checked Caumartin and pronounced him fit, Sulfridge himself caught the volunteer spirit. Both doctors flew out last month, Caumartin to read X rays and teach radiological techniques in Saigon, while Sulfridge went to the 70-year-old complex of decaying buildings that makes up the hospital at Can Tho, 80 miles southwest of the capital, in the steaming Mekong Delta...
