...largely blamed for this year's troubles, long-range pressures are also squeezing the teaching profession. College graduates who choose teaching are turning in increasing numbers to jobs with the greatest prestige, those in colleges and high schools, leaving a growing grammar school gap. High school teachers tend to move up to junior colleges, which employ more than 65,000 as compared with 26,000 five years ago. Contending that elementary teachers have a far more profound influence on students than college teachers, James E.

They tend to see the cop as the symbol of white power and to blame him for most of their ills...
...mind to run for mayor." But Yorty ran and won, and he has shown by his actions as mayor that, when he wants to, he can exert a good deal more power and responsibility than he admits to having. Despite his faults and his constant feuds-Angelenos tend to be either 100% for him or 100% against him-Yorty has, in fact, stamped himself as a better-than-average mayor in a city that has a tradition of do-nothing mayors...
