Flying Womb. Being recognized first requires being seen-and the spanking convinced longtime Recluse Hefner that he must widen his horizons. He began by widening his lapels: off came the bathrobes and cardigan sweaters, on went $15,000 worth of Edwardian suits from Chicago Tailor George Mashbitz. He quit taking amphetamines, started getting six or eight hours of sleep every day, worked out on a slant board and an exercise bicycle, and gradually built his weight back up to 175 lbs.

At the same time, some latent anti-black feelings have come to the fore among Jews?symbolized by the half-casual, half-contemptuous Yiddish reference to the "schvartzes" (blacks...
More than one out of every four Americans?almost 58 million?is attending some kind of school today. Though education is and will remain primarily a state and local responsibility, the Federal Government can do more to widen and improve the educational prospects of every American. In the elementary and secondary schools, the chief object of its attention must for the immediate future remain the ghetto child. One of its top research targets should be how to educate the black child of the inner city; no one has yet found a very good answer. Truly effective ghetto education...
