...solve itself. Unhappily, this has turned out to be untrue. Southern Negroes today enjoy more rights than they did a half century ago. They can vote-if they aren't too aggressive about it. In a few states they can attend "white" colleges-if they are willing to accept "segregated" living quarters. In others they can use the same railroad waiting rooms as whites-provided they are interstate travelers. But in virtually every case, even these spotty and limited gains were not freely conceded by Southern whites; they were imposed on the South by the Federal Government spurred...
Childe Hassam (1859-1935) began work as a magazine illustrator and made a good living at it. Three years in Paris opened his eyes to impressionism, and by 1889, when he came home to apply its viewpoint to the American scene, Americans were almost ready to accept the results. Plump, pink and tweedy, Hassam painted pictures that were pretty yet robust, like a small brass band playing in the park...

...classification of "strategic" goods, and limit that category to those materials which are clearly and in the short-run directly applicable to Soviet military uses. In addition, the U.S. will have to specify that in order to receive the newly-released materials, the Kremlin will also have to accept consumer goods, and those in excess of other commodities. Some ratio can be created relating the amount of newly-released capital or raw goods to the amount of consumer goods Russia purchases. That is, the U.S. would sell to Russia previously "strategic" goods only if the Soviets agree to import...
...ease the pressure on "neutral" countries. It would alleviate much tension and discourage hasty or precipitous action by either side. Coexistence seems here to stay. Resuming a freer flow of East-West commerce would greatly improve the condition of the de facto situation that the world appears destined to accept for an inestimable length of time...
