...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...
...hundreds of tiny private "free" schools and in public classrooms in nearly every state, the fixed rows of desks and the fixed weekly lessons have been abandoned. Instead, children roam from one study project to another, theoretically following their native curiosity and learning at their own uneven rates.

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...

Most are financially fragile, physically unprepossessing and dependent on volunteered talent. Execution has been uneven, but editors are beginning to wince as they read...
...Sullivan buildings," with the exception of the Carson Pirie store, were the work of the partnership of Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan. It was Adler who designed the floating caisson foundations that supported one wall of the Stock Exchange, thereby ending the problem of uneven settlement of buildings. Many of the firm's building designs were due to Adler's engineering expertise.
