Princeton Research Chemist Daniel S. Trifan, 43, and his wife face one year in jail for home-teaching their three children, whose tested IQs are in the genius range of 150-160. According to the West Windsor Township school board, they have broken the New Jersey law that requires all children to attend school or "receive an equivalent instruction elsewhere."

...social calendar. Once the winter wheat is in the ground in towns like Sharon Springs, Kans., there is little else to do but watch the games on Tuesday and Friday nights in the $190,000 school gym, the grandest building in the county. In Ohio, the citizens of Bethel Township regularly drop past Ray Morrison's general store to rock on their heels around the stove and talk of the local high school team (12 and 6 this season) and of Ohio State University's national champions, one of the great clubs of recent years...
