...Chicago the Sun-Times's Education Editor Ruth Dunbar roves a beat that in recent years has encompassed Russia and the Far East, produced effective stories on the public-education systems in the Soviet Union, Korea and Japan. Helen Fleming, of the Chicago Daily News, writes with such telling effect on the local education scene that, after a series observing that the Chicago school system made only seven of 16 basic high-school courses compulsory, and questioning the latitude this left the student, the school board added four more courses to the compulsory list.

Moreover, the gimmick is backed up by a witty script that at times owes as much to Don Miguel de Cervantes as it does to Scriptwriter William Roos.

The cylinders were designed so that every passing air particle swirled within 3 in. of a germ-killing arc light. Since ultraviolet rays kill germs more effectively at close range-their germicidal effect is proportionate to the square root of the distance-a microbe had only 1/256th as much chance of surviving a trip through the cylinders as it would have under an ultraviolet lamp hanging 4 ft. above the operating table...
...begin a new sentence with "He said . . .", Simon merely drops a comma to catch his breath and continues with "saying . . ." If Simon's chapter-sentences are read quickly, and if the reader does not follow his natural inclination to stop and sort out thoughts and thinkers, the effect can be astonishing. The author skillfully creates a sense of frenzy and foreboding...
