...continue teaching, but the curriculum, now dictated by Daniel Malan's Native Affairs Ministry, must change from education to propaganda for acceptance of segregation policies. To prevent any inter-racial mingling, the government will stop teaching any of the European tongues used in South Africa. This will no doubt widen the color gap, but it will leave teachers struggling to make the few texts written in Bantu fulfill their needs.

Under plans announced this week by Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Dr. Salk will widen his testing program in western Pennsylvania to cover more than 5,000 children by midwinter. Then mass field trials on a nationwide basis will get under way on Feb. 8 in a county (still to be chosen) in one of the Southern states where polio strikes early and often.

When she tells an anecdote, gesturing extravagantly, she plays all the roles involved, right down to such spear-carriers as waiters and scrubwomen...
With less than half a minute left, Dennis was fouled while he froze the ball, and sank both shots to widen the Harvard lead to 49 to 46. Seconds later, Condon--who was hot from the outside with his sets--netted one of his free throws to end the scoring...
