...setting for this crime wave is not an inner-city blackboard jungle but suburban Evanston Township High School on Chicago's elm-shaded, affluent North Shore. For years the high school has been known as one of the best in the nation, and it still earns that reputation. The current senior class has nine Merit Scholars, the largest number in the school's 92-year history. Evanston's innovative curriculum offers 260 courses and programs; the campus includes a planetarium and television studio...
...shirt, perhaps given it to the Salvation Army, and that someone else had been wearing it in Leonia. Only when Kallinger's fingerprints, which were on file as a result of his arrest for child abuse, were found to match one at the scene of the Susquehanna Township robbery did Harrisburg police arrest Kallinger and charge him with one count of burglary, four counts of armed robbery and four counts of kidnaping. His son Michael, 13, and another son James, 11, were also taken into custody. After several hours, James was released, a move that seemed to point...
...suburb of Lindenwold, N.J., a man and boy forced their way into a home and tied a housewife to a bed. The man raped her; then the two invaders ransacked the house for jewelry and cash.

Before Maria Fasching, no one had been killed, but there had been...
Risking It. For some purchasers, the risks were outweighed by the intangible rewards of being among the first Americans to get in on the gold action. A Michigan girl, twelve-year-old Carlenne Brown of Bloomfield township, claims to be the first buyer of the yellow metal. At one second past midnight on Dec. 31, she signed an invoice for a quarter-ounce wafer, bought for $52.79 through a publicity-minded Southfield, Mich., coin dealer; he obtained the wafer from a fellow dealer in nearby Windsor, Canada, and had it delivered to his shop by car and helicopter...
Evidently, they are not. Much to the distress of the fund's trustees, the Wagnalls generosity seems to satisfy neither the local students nor the Internal Revenue Service. Though 159 Bloom Township boys and girls are currently receiving Wagnalls scholarships, the potential is much higher. Despite the Wagnalls largesse, only one in three Bloom Township seniors bothers to go on to college; so far only six of last June's 86 graduates have sought Wagnalls' support...
