...mess, because two-thirds of the world is nonwhite, and we would not have enough whites to go around. If the schools are effective and children learn, that is the easiest way to achieve the ultimate goal of integration." Retorts Kenneth Clark: "There is no such thing as improvement in the schools while they are still segregated. As long as we have segregated schools, I see no alternative to busing. Integration is a painful job. It is social therapy, and like personal therapy it is not easy." Kenneth Tollett, director of Washington's Institute for the Study of Education Policy...
Essential Step. Despite all the agony the agreement has caused, it is still only an interim settlement, and the easiest part to solve of the many-sided Arab-Israeli conflict. There is much less room for give on the Golan Heights, which are disputed by both Israel and Syria; both countries appear intractable on the issues. A solution to the Palestinian problem is nowhere in sight, and there seems little hope for compromise on ownership of the West Bank of the Jordan. Jerusalem is coveted by both sides for its religious shrines and its symbolic authority, but the Israelis...
...easiest. Each Rotel accommodates 39 passengers, a driver-mechanic-cook and a tour guide. By day the group rides conventionally in the bus, with the usual hurried stops for sightseeing and picture taking. In the evening the juggernaut pulls into a camping ground or stops at a village fountain, and the action shifts to the 40-ft. trailer hitched to the rear.

They soon drew great whites labeled inflation, Communism and energy crisis gobbling up wages, Portugal and motorcars. There was even a cartoon showing Gloria Steinem swimming down to bite a shark. Columnists too sought political parallels: the Washington Post's George F. Will expressed amazement that in Washington, "where the Congress is regularly on view, people pay to see this movie about a small-brained beast that is all muscle and appetite." Universal swiftly capitalized on all the attention, bringing out a full-page newspaper...
...easiest to describe what people like about New Orieans in terms of images rather than reasons, because the reasons often done't make a great deal of sense. Harper's magazine last year printed a long and comprehensive article that compared America's 50 major cities according to a series of criteria that made perfectly good sense-things having to do with education, income levels, population density, and so forth-and New Orieans not only came out near the bottom but also, judging from the Harper's critreris, had very litle to recommend itself. Forced to defend the city...
