...relevant are Dalton's experiments to all those old-fashioned schools across the country with strained budgets and less privileged kids? Very relevant, insists headmaster Dunnan. Sure, it takes serious money and expertise to create something like Archaeotype, he concedes. (Dalton received $3.7 million from real estate mogul Robert Tishman to develop technology.) ``But once something is developed, it need not be very expensive.'' To prove that point, Dalton has begun to offer its learning technology to a few public schools. The Juarez Lincoln Elementary School in Chula Vista, California, for instance, has been using Archaeotype for three years, much...
This Orwellian logic makes sense to Peggy Tishman, one of many New York Jewish leaders willing to sacrifice truth for the greater good. As she told The New Republic: "There are a lot of truths that are very necessary. This is not a truth that's necessary...
...many psychic researchers, in addition to the paucity of objectively verifiable results in their work, has made it difficult to raise funds for research; parapsychologists barely squeak by with money from a few foundations and gifts and encouragement from occasional philanthropists like Stewart Mott and Manhattan Realtor John Tishman.

Jack Straus (of the Macy's family) was here fifty years ago and is still around to lament that his "greatest frustration in life [has been his] lack of athletic prowess." (Oh well. He survived.) A classmate of Straus's was Paul Tishman, and Mr. Tishman is an interesting case. In the class report, the Secretary notes that he has heard nothing about Mr. T since the 30th reunion, at which time "he wrote that he was in the contracting and building business." Talk about euphemisms! Mr. Tishman has built some...
...Tishman's grandfather started the business in 1898 by building and owning tenements in Lower Manhattan. Since Bob, 51, took command of the firm in 1962, he has sold all but two of the 21 rental-housing projects that the company built following World War II, including all its holdings in rent-controlled New York City. The emphasis now is on a different kind of operation. Today the company operates 23 large office buildings, mostly in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Cleveland; it owns more office space (5,775,000 sq. ft.) than the total available in Denver...
