Boston students study Charlotte’s desegregation effort
Four Boston student leaders observed integrated Charlotte schools after a letter campaign from West Charlotte High School. They heard that racial tensions in Boston stem from a two per cent minority driving opposition, while Charlotte officials warned progress will take time and rely on parents and dialogue. The visitors, Dana Gonsal, Bob Messina, Linda Lawrence and Barbara Steer, aimed to learn how Charlotte handles desegregation under court orders as Charlotte students explained their challenges and cautions.

Sun power backers tout two drawbacks beaten
Sun power backers claim a pyramidal optic focusing system overcomes high initial cost and flat-plate collectors. Gerald Falbel of Wormser Scientific Corp in Stamford received patent 3,841,302 for a portable attic pyramid reflector that concentrates sun rays onto a small top collector to heat and potentially power a building. Also noted are patents for a centenarian inventor and for a portable step stool. Two New York psychologists patent a brain-wave analyzer aiding early detection of abnormal patterns in offices. Patent 3,841,309 is granted to Andrew Salter and Robert Fried, claiming high power EEG analysis via a head electrical activity sensing method.
