...react to him, and the results are often ambiguous. For instance, while he accepts Bruner's charge that education equip the young to cope with an ever more-intricate technological world, Jones is "more impressed with modern man's need to comprehend and master what is now his tool of tools-himself." His overriding concern, remember, is to have the child "imbue curricular issues with personal significance." The teacher's job is to facilitate that process in various ways. Jones, then, expects young human beings to gain comprehensive and mastery of themselves by relating directly not to one another...

With Local 365, Cemetery Workers and Greens Attendants, out on strike, 42 of the city's cemeteries have been closed down. In mortuary storage rooms, tool sheds, warehouses and cemetery driveways, thousands of coffins are stacked like cordwood, awaiting a settlement.

Beyond that the Atomic Energy Commission is cutting off funds completely-after a total investment of $30 million on a project that, according to Director Milton White, has not yet had a chance to reach its peak efficiency. Another important tool for probing the secrets of the atom, the Cambridge Electron Accelerator at Harvard University, is in jeopardy: its budget has been cut 25%. "This," says M.I.T. Professor Victor Weisskopf, "essentially means that it will go out of business." Budget cuts have already paralyzed a less costly but still formidable piece...
