...enter white-owned cafés by the back door-even though legal discrimination no longer exists. Whites have accepted black school enrollments up to 22% without much fuss, but when desegregation orders raise black representation to at least 66% in September, those whites who can afford the $400-a-year tuition will doubtless pour into the private cement-block Warrior Academy. One young teacher there explains: "There's so much low intelligence among the blacks...
...only category, in fact, in which black athletes have consistently lagged behind is money. Those statistics now seem to be changing. As of this season, four of the six baseball players in the $125,000-a-year bracket are black...
...from the slowdown in the space program. Employment has dropped from 24,000 a year ago to 17,500 today, and "pink-slip psychology" lends a frantic tone to Friday night parties at the local Hilton. Houses that sold for $25,000 a year ago now bring $1,500 less. Space contractors organized an employment service and invited more than 100 organizations-life insurance companies, boat builders, even the CIA-to interview laid-off employees. They found 600 jobs for 2,000 men. One $15,000-a-year engineer wound up packing groceries in a supermarket for $1.65 an hour...

Sheil gave him enough backing to set up the Industrial Areas Foundation, an organization that seeks to apply the Alinsky methods to other slums. Operating on a $150,000-a-year budget, I.A.F. has a basic staff of eleven; other organizers are put on the payroll when the need arises. I.A.F. has gone into Rochester, Buffalo and Kansas City, Mo., and has set up Mexican-American organizations in California. Not all of Alinsky's endeavors have succeeded...
...promise. For years he has scoured the U.S. and Europe for off-the-air transcriptions of Toscanini broadcasts. Key now owns 5,000 transcriptions (all transferred to tape) of hitherto commercially unreleased material-a complete catalogue of broadcasts by the Maestro between 1933 and 1954. It also includes about 50 concerts that were never broadcast, but which were recorded surreptitiously by engineers supposedly testing their equipment. Last year Key launched the Arturo Toscanini Society. A private, nonprofit club based in Dumas, Texas, it offers members (about 500 so far) five or six recordings annually for a $25-a-year membership...
