...based on the writings of New York City school children between the ages of 7 through 18. The texts are combined with music and dancing to create a series of episodes with a few recurrent themes. It is unfortunate that the quality of these episodes should sometimes be so uneven and, although it would be nice to say that the performers do their best to skirt the weak spots, they are in fact eager collaborators. Nonetheless, the cast is a delight from beginning to end, able to sustain the serious numbers as well as to excell in the comic ones...
...under honorable conditions, which carries no penalty and only slight stigma. Is it fair to let some go and not others, or to create a situation in which it is wiser to desert than to resist the draft? The FBI, after all, boasts of its record in catching resisters. Uneven justice is no justice. Another highly persuasive argument for amnesty: no other action could be as effective in persuading the young that once again they can trust the humanity of their Government. In this sense, amnesty would serve its traditional function: healing angry wounds...
...effect on individual publications would be uneven. The new second-class rates are set by the piece in a complicated formula that takes into account mailing distance as well as weight. Weeklies would be hit harder than monthlies because of greater mailing frequency, and large-circulation weeklies would be hit harder still because of their great volume.

Instead, children roam from one study project to another, theoretically following their native curiosity and learning at their own uneven rates. But even the supporters of "informal education" are beginning to fear that many schools are adopting the new methods without making teachers apply them systematically. Dropping conventional constraints makes teaching "absolutely more difficult," says Lillian Weber, associate professor of education at the City College of New York. "You can't just...
...Goodrich. Result: Goodrich, who at 6 ft. 1 in. is the littlest Laker, is the team's highest scorer with a 27-point average, and West is leading the league in assists. The biggest change, however, has been in the play of Chamberlain, the moody, taciturn giant whose uneven performance in the past has earned him such derisive nicknames as "Big Musty" and "The Load." Now, coaxed into a different role by Sharman, he is recognized as team captain. In the Lakers' new offense, Chamberlain's chief duties consist of raking in the rebounds and then, like...
