...Last week, at 9,000-ft.-high Alta in Utah's Wasatch Mountains, 26 psychologists, educators, industrialists and military men gathered in a National Science Foundation-sponsored meeting to consider creativity. With surprising unanimity, they concluded that 1) success in the scientific age is not simply a matter of intellect; 2) U.S. education is distressingly geared to uncovering the "bright boy" who can dutifully find the one right answer to a problem; 3) schools ignore the rebellious "inner-directed" child who scores low on IQ tests because they bore him; 4) teachers not only make no effort to nurture...
...society yet written. O'Dea has as much knowledge and sympathy for the Mormons as any non-Mormon could be expected to have; his only fault is that he has not lived long enough among different groups of Mormons. Quite obviously, his perception of Mormonism is that of the "Wasatch Strip"--Salt Lake City and adjoining areas. He does not show sufficient awareness of Mormonism in the cities on the periphery of Mormon Country, in the rural areas, in the East, and abroad. O'Dea's analysis portrays brilliantly the intellectual movements and conflicts in contemporary Mormonism, such...
...Salt Lake City and his fiancée Jean Margetts of Sunnyvale, Calif, had disappeared. Then, at dusk, a searching airplane pilot spotted the wreckage at the foot of a 300-ft. embankment in Parley's Canyon, just off heavily traveled U.S. 40, in the Wasatch Mountains, east of Salt Lake. Highway patrolmen clambered down to remove the bodies. Hixon lay dead, 20-ft. from the car. Jean Margetts was pinned beneath the car and a log. As Superintendent Lyle Hyatt lifted the log, she gave a low cry. Though chilled by the night air, the body was warm...
...against anyone," were Don Jesse Neal's last words as five .30-.30 rifles (one loaded with a blank cartridge) poked through five holes in a burlap screen 25 ft. away. "Ready!" said the officer in charge to his men as the sun edged red above the rugged Wasatch mountains; then, seconds later, softly, so that the man in the chair would not hear him, "Fire...
Dangerous Decoy. Near Utah's Bear River Wildlife Refuge, where the bleak shadows of the Wasatch Mountains stretch toward Great Salt Lake, hunters could hardly shoot fast enough. Fat from a summer in the grainfields of western Canada, great flights of geese and fresh-water ducks made tempting targets (see color pages following). Bright, bobbing decoys lured the flyers down toward danger; artificial calls quacked to them as they passed; shotguns (usually 12 gauge) blasted broad patterns of destruction across the shallow reaches of the river. The miracle was that so many birds survived...
