...himself, also donated the land and two main buildings for a two-year community college in Flint. He views the multifaceted Flint program as a pioneering effort designed to be copied by other cities. Some 70,000 educators have already come to Flint to inspect its schools firsthand, and more than 100 other communities have started versions of the Flint program. The University of Michigan even offers an M.A.-level course on the program at its Mott-built Flint branch. The 54 "interns" now in the year-long course get a minimum $5,000 stipend from the foundation...

As nearly half of Florida's 58,000 teachers stayed away from their classrooms, about one-third of the state's 1,800 schools were closed and 500,000 children went untaught.

Net income of U.S. Steel, the industry leader, dropped 31%, to $172,499,331 on sales of $4.07 billion. While that decline was a year-long affair, several rival steelmakers-including Bethlehem, Republic and Inland-showed fourth-quarter profit increases as customers started stockpiling in anticipation of a possible steel strike next summer. Other metals companies, among them Kaiser Aluminum and Reynolds Metals, also skidded in 1967; Alcoa managed a 1.2% profit increase, but that...
