...completely alien to the child's mind, says Beberman. "Children are not miniature adults. They have a thirst for the abstract and the world of fancy." They may even grasp math relationships faster than reading and writing. As famed Swiss Educator Jean Piaget put it after introducing complex topological math to six-year-olds: "They knew it anyway. It is the language and thought of the child." All of this still escapes most math teachers. When they introduce equations, they hammer home superficial techniques...
During his 5½ years as Senate majority leader, facing a Republican President, Johnson proved himself to be one of U.S. history's ablest masters of the subtle, complex art of legislative leadership. And he exercised that leadership with statesmanlike responsibility. A Southerner, utterly dependent upon Southern support in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, he painstakingly steered through the Senate this year a civil rights bill guaranteeing the voting rights of Southern Negroes. Instead of trying to use the U-2 imbroglio and the summit collapse to embarrass the Administration in an election year, he spoke out for national...
Kennedy's earlier medical history is complex. Severe and recurring jaundice forced him to leave Princeton during his freshman year (when his health improved, he later went to Harvard). The Army rejected him because of a football injury to his back, but the Navy accepted him. The back was reinjured when a Japanese destroyer knifed through Lieut. Kennedy's PT boat in 1943. He spent most of 1944 in a Navy hospital, underwent a spinal disk operation, which was not fully successful. As a consequence, in October 1954, surgeons performed a delicate fusion of spinal disks.

...television," trumpeted London's Sunday Express proudly. "White City'' in this context means the British Broadcasting Corp.'s new TV headquarters, and not the nearby White City stadium, where England's eager bettors wager millions on the greyhounds. BBC's half-finished complex of glass and brick is the largest TV factory in the world and even includes a studio that can be flooded to create a lake set. It represents a .$45 million bet that the state-chartered, viewer-financed (for an annual fee of $11.20 per set owner) BBC-TV can crack...
...served up to British audiences). Up to now the U.S. has largely monopolized the world market for TV reruns, partly because 80% of all U.S. prime-time shows are recorded before showing, hence are readily exportable, while some 92% of BBC-TV originates live. White City's building complex is fittingly shaped in the form of a question mark. And the question to be answered is: What chance has BBC-TV to grab a share of the lucrative rerun market...
