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...
Many of Hughes' Nevada enterprises were not paying off as handsomely as the owner had expected. Some were barely breaking even−or losing. That could be attributed partly to the nation's economic slump. Still, the suspicion lingered that at least some of Hughes' losses consisted of funds going into the pockets of his employees.

There are ways of making decisions and ways of never making them. While the student organizers waited their turn to testify before the Food Services subcommittee, a student was presenting a meal rebate plan for kosher students wishing to take Kosher meals at Hillel. He was a senior, and he'd been at it for four years...
