Knowledge or Ignorance by Bruce Biossat
The essay argues the core failure of American education is not math or science output but teaching people how to think. It laments vagueness in schools, noting many students lack precise knowledge of numbers, language, history, and geography. It warns that without thinking skills, citizens cannot solve problems or resist tyranny.

Exhibit draws crowd at Moscow show with mixed reviews
The Moscow exhibition draws forty thousand New Yorkers to the coliseum daily as fashion editors from across the U S preview the Russia show while critics note the intermingling of White and Negro models is not representative of the United States. Russians praise housing and medical advances, and Moscow’s exhibit features sputniks, TV sets, and housing programs.

Senior Citizen Turns Pottery Toward Inflation Fight
In Contoocook New Hampshire 71 year old Bill Montgomery blends politics and pottery to combat rising living costs. He serves in the New Hampshire House as the town's first Democratic representative in 30 years while earning income from pottery and a Civil Service pension. Montgomery spends four hours daily shaping mugs and dishes, selling about 300 pieces a year at $1.50 each, mostly through the state crafts league stores. He reinvests earnings into kilns and equipment, which total roughly $500 to $700, and notes pottery income can exceed his political pay. He began pottery after retirement 18 months ago and says keeping busy helps him stay active and young.
