Secret Feelings. Koch arrived at P.S. 61 two years ago. A noted poet and professor of English at Columbia, he brought with him a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the suspicion that children are full of verse, and a determination to make them aware of it. His success is convincingly demonstrated in Wishes, Lies, and Dreams (Chelsea House; $7.95), a collection of his pupils' work. In a long introduction to the delightful primer, Koch tells how he did it and how other teachers...

He overextended himself with the deaths of his wife and brother shortly after he had procured insurance policies on them in his favor...
Bruce McDuffie is a chemistry professor at the State University of New York at Binghamton. When a student suggested recently that he "test some tuna" for mercury, McDuffie analyzed cans of Grand Union tuna that he took from his kitchen shelf. To his astonishment, the first can tested at .75 parts per million of mercury, 50% above the .5-ppm level considered safe by the Food and Drug Administration. How did the mercury, an industrial waste, taint the tuna, which live in midocean? No one yet knows. But following FDA tests of Grand Union and Van Camp brands last week...
