But there is a sharp difference between upward "mobility," defined as an opportunity to rise, and mobility defined as actually having risen. That distinction is seldom even mentioned in most of the studies. ThOmas It is as if everybody is chomping at the bit to sOWELL get ahead, and the ones Creators that don't rise have been Syndicate stopped by "barriers" cre- ated by "society." When statistics show that sons of high school dropouts don't become doc- tors or scientists nearly as often as the sons of Ph.D.s, that is taken as a sign that American society is not "fair." If equal probabilities of achieving some goal is your definition of fairness, then we should all get together — people of every race, color, creed, national origin, political ideology and sexual preference — and stipu- late that life has never been fair, anywhere or any time in all the millennia of recorded history. Then we can begin at last to talk sense. I know that I never had an equal chance to be- come a great ballet dancer like Rudolph Nureyev. The thought of becoming a ballet dancer never once crossed my mind in all the years when I was growing up in Harlem. I suspect that the same thought never crossed the minds of most of the guys growing up on New York's lower east side.

Delight sex offender arrested for failure to report change in residence FOREMAN - A sex offender from Delight has been ar- rested in Little River County. Pike County Detectives Clark Kinzler and Jason Mc- Donald arrested 41 year old Tony Wayne Sturgeon on Thursday with the as- sistance of the Little River County Sheriff's Department. Sturgeon is a level two regis- tered sex offender. According to police, Stur- geon had not verified his residency in December and later told authorities that he had been away for about a week and a half because his mother was ill. This month, authorities allege Sturgeon failed to report that he was in Foreman for at least a week and did not report this in person to the sheriff's of- fice. He advised that his dad had a heart attack and was at the Little River Memorial Hospital. Detective McDonald then checked Sturgeon's residence a week later and he was still not at the registered address. -SW Arkansas Radio
