More Than Khe Sanh. In Newark, where in last summer's rampage 23 persons lost their lives and the authorities expended 13,319 rounds of ammunition, there were no casualties and only one shot was fired-by a policeman, as a warning into the air. Mayor Hugh Addonizio crisscrossed the riot area in an unmarked prowl car. Some 200 Negro youths wearing the pink, silver and white badges of the United Community Corp., Newark's antipoverty organization, also patrolled the ghetto-and to better effect.

Most all of the nation's big-city mayors were unreservedly enthusiastic about the report-particularly at the prospect of snagging more federal funds.

No one group is all good or all bad. My suggestion...
