EDUCATION ABROAD The Uninfected They wear tight blue jeans or pants that bell at the bottom. Their hair flows in ringlets over shirt collars. They strum cowboy tunes on guitars, favor English phrases such as "Hello, baby" and "Love me, do." They claim to be alienated from their elders and resist any form of ideological indoctrination. In short, many students in Eastern Europe are surprisingly like U.S. campus rebels. In Prague a fortnight ago, 400 educators, including a dozen Westerners, met in a conference sponsored by Czechoslovakia's Red regime to talk about why the Communist culture fails...
Primary Accident. A lonely tinkerer in the style of the Edison era, Adams has supported his yen for inventing by toiling at a lengthy catalogue of jobs-cowboy, barber, auto mechanic, house painter, merchant seaman, research director for a vacuum cleaner company. His pre-war kitchen triumph was a primary (nonrechargeable) battery that delivered an even level of electricity over long periods of time. Until then familiar primary batteries delivered electricity at a declining rate until they wore out; their charge drained off even when not in use; and they rapidly deteriorated when subjected to extreme temperatures...

The station...

Harvard students often claim that their job for the summer was "building egos" -- showing 10-year-olds who want to be the cowboy in "cowboys and Indians" that being Indian is special and desirable...
Perhaps it started in her girlhood when "some interfering person" decided that little Loelia Ponsonby mustn't be taken to cowboy films any more because the flickers were bad for her eyes. Last week Loelia, Duchess of Westminster, 63, turned up in San Francisco to pursue her old fascination. Her Grace announced that she wants to buy one authentic stagecoach, a covered wagon that had survived an Indian attack, a saloon door (swinging) and other fond wild West relics to install for English schoolchildren at a museum of Americana at Bath...
