One prize patient is an electrician who had been declared legally blind as a result of his uremia; after six weeks of intensive dialysis sessions, eight hours at a stretch, he regained his sight and is now back at work. In addition, there are clerks and watchmen, housewives (including a Negro mother of ten), salesmen, accountants, and a society photographer...

This year he is proving as tough in the pursuit of a buck as the school electrician and plumber, who have long outpaced him in pay. The U.S. taxpayer is sick of soaring school costs. The conflict between these viewpoints has created one of the most strife-ridden school openings in years. This week nearly 2,000,000 schoolchildren from Baltimore to East St. Louis, Ill., face the possibility of extended summer vacations because...
