...morning the night before the third bust and second police battle. We are walking down Broadway from Columbia's 116th Street --Checkpoint Charlie, where you pass in and out the campus through credentials check. Shouting and sounds of riot draw us around the corner of 110th St. A dozen students standing in front of a small white-pillared building are shouting up at a 15-story Columbia dormitory, Carmen Hall. About half hold beer cans. Student heads stick out from every third window in Carmen and yell back. I am told that those on the ground are Jocks from "Beta...
Irrational Nodules. With walk-out and sit-in, march and riot, the no longer meek can be counted on to continue to demand their social and economic inheritance now. Negro parents of limited education demand a say in the running of ghetto schools. Articulate undergraduates-and not a few faculty members-insist on a meaningful vote in the governance of their own institutions. The poor who march on Washington have a more basic desire: the means for a decent existence. Traditionally passive public servants no longer have qualms about shutting down school or sanitation or transportation systems. Agricultural laborers agitate...

According to the Doman-Delacato theory, impairment of speech, vision and manual skills can be caused by the interruption of a child's normal progress from creeping to crawling to walking. Discarding standard evaluation systems and using an elaborate diagnostic scheme of their own, Doman and Delacato classify retarded children in three questionable "profile" groups: 1) truly brain-injured. 2) psychotic, 3) genetically brain-deficient. They treat children in any of these groups who have presumably skipped one or more of the creep...
...daily periods ranging up to twelve hours-between follow-up visits to the I.A.H.P. at 30-to 90-day intervals. In more severe cases of mental and physical retardation, treatment begins with physical manipulation of the limbs by therapists, then parents and family friends, to simulate creep-crawl-walk movements. Usually, at least three people are needed to put the child through his paces, and the therapy must be carried out in five-minute sessions, four times a day, seven days a week...
