The American Bar Association studies a plan for legal insurance allowing individuals to pay premiums to guarantee access to legal help. Supporters say it could ensure affordable counsel for those who might delay seeking advice, while some lawyers oppose the approach.
An advocacy piece argues for a productive balance between public and private schools in a pluralistic society. It highlights private schools as bellwethers for improving public education and notes that both sectors contribute to educational progress, quoting a biblical proverb about humility and exaltation.
The piece questions if campaign contributions violate the Federal Corrupt Practices Act and cites penalties. It notes AFL-CIO debates on campaign tactics and fund-raising plans to support Johnson, and argues for DOJ independence from the executive branch to protect public interest.
Jim Bishop writes about Jim Sullivan, a colorful bar owner and traveler known as the Lord of Blarney. Sullivan built a unique life with a daffy saloon, Polish wife, geisha houses, globe hopping, and humorous credits at a race track, ending with fond memories and losses.
A nameless bartender Jim is mourned at a wake after his death in Atlantic Highlands. He once kept a saloon open after hours, reportedly dodging cops. He courted a widow, who later returned her husband’s keys as a final gift. Millie, his partner, later falls ill with cancer.
Dave muses on a winter that lingers with damp days and near zero cold while forecasts hint at spring. He notes the annual robin report and warns that if March 20 ushers in spring officially, winter may still claw back before April.
The old superstition about March 1 predicting the month’s weather is recalled as residents wait to see if March will arrive like a lion or a lamb and set the tone for the days ahead.
A Forsythia plant briefly bloomed despite low temperatures and later succumbed to the cold. The writer notes the cheerful yellow bush as a welcome sight in the area and hopes it does not repeat this odd flowering pattern.
Joseph Alsop argues Judge Wright’s desegregation plan damages DC schools by mixing white and black students without preserving quality. He cites Chevy Chase, Deal, Wilson, Paul, and Coolidge as cases, notes white flight to suburbs, and urges high quality, well funded integration with more teachers and smaller classes to prevent decline.
The essay argues Judge Wright erred by not prioritizing school quality as the key to integration. It cites New York MES results at PS 102, PS 106, and PS 18 where middle class flight slowed as radical improvement raised achievement and stabilized demographics. PS 106 shifted from 594 white to 557 white with increased Black and Puerto Rican enrollment.
