Teachers I love Educators I hate a literacy lesson
Reporter Robert MacGregor Shaw laments a literacy conference where educators dominate discussion, confusing words with meanings. He contrasts teachers and educators, skewering Dewey influenced methods and rhetoric. He recalls seminars at the University of Minnesota and criticizes semantic drift and the media’s role in literacy.

Ethics code sparks mixed reviews on Senate panel
Senate Ethics Committee members clash over the code of conduct adopted last year. Sen. Adlai Stevenson defends the measure while Sen. Robert Morgan and Sen. Lowell Weicker condemn it, arguing the code is flawed and unenforceable. Critics warn of backsliding as proposals seek to scale back outside earnings limits and gifts rules. Common Cause notes the odd concentration of dissent within the panel and urges stronger standards and full disclosure.
