Bugles by Night. Myers, a 34-year-old, $4,800-a-year refrigeration-equipment tester, moved into his pastel-pink, three-bedroom, $12,150 ranch house in August because his family had outgrown a two-bedroom cottage in a predominantly Negro community a mile away. But his coming to Levittown flowered fears, jeers and widespread rumors that he was the spearhead of a Negro invasion. For days surly crowds grumbled outside his house, finally threw stones through its picture window. Bristol Township police were reinforced by tough state troopers at the direction of Pennsylvania's Democratic Governor George...
...Clash. Back home, Murrow became CBS vice president in charge of news. After a year and a half he decided that he did not like paper work, budgets, and "most of all, I didn't like firing people." Before he went back to broadcasting with a $150,000-a-year sponsored news show, he took a hand in writing what is still the network's policy forbidding its news analysts to inject editorial opinion into their "objective" interpretation. After Bill Paley added him to the CBS board of directors in 1949-a post he held until 1955-Murrow...
...Providence for the job of U.S. marshal. He filled out a lengthy application and shipped it out.

McMath named him to the highway commission (an unsalaried job), made him a $5,000-a-year administrative assistant after he delivered the hill country again in 1950, and after Faubus complained: "I'm broke. I need a payin' job." A McMath aide recalls the first time he saw Faubus: "He came down here in a $10 suit that ended somewhere north of his socks. He was chewing a matchstick, and I hardly ever saw him after that without a matchstick or a straw...
...watchtowers with searchlights along the watery plains of the Po River delta, set up a special new intelligence corps and dispatched motorized patrols to strategic spots in the hills of central Italy. The time had come, said the government, to break up the booming $8,000,000-a-year black market in Etruscan art objects. Beneath hill and plain lay buried treasure-the vases, statues and coins that the energetic Etruscans had placed in the tombs 25 centuries ago. This was part of the "national patrimony," said the government, and no one would be allowed to dig up or sell...
