Long Term Results From Harlem Head Start Study
New York researchers track a Harlem Head Start cohort now in their early 30s. Boys show higher educational achievement and coping skills, with gains for girls fading due to social pressures. One third of the women became mothers, complicating college and work. The study, tied to NYU's Institute for Developmental Studies, cites nearly $4 million in funding from Ford, Carnegie, Taconic foundations and federal agencies. The project helped shape Head Start and Follow Through and Title I programs.

Mailer and others describe shock and complexity around Abbott and his parole.
