NORFOLK (pop. 314,600). After failing to stop a federal order to integrate 17 Negro pupils, the school board postponed the opening of the fall term to Sept. 29. hoped to get satisfaction in circuit court. If it fails again, the board will admit the Negroes, and Governor Almond, invoking his massive-resistance laws, will shut down Norfolk's six Negro and white senior and junior high schools. As in Charlottesville, segregationist parents busily devised plans to provide classrooms in private homes and churches. But even before the plans were well under way, the "Norfolk Committee for Public Schools...
That suave soul John Mason Brown last spring was heard to say "at least half of Harvard's undergraduates will admit reluctantly that they write poems." Identity, whose editor James Manchester Robinson is not a Fifth Avenue preacher as you might expect but is, rather, a vigorous undergraduate about the Square, promises give light to Harvard's reluctant poets in their dark corners or wherever they...
...When Negroes dispute the placement board's decision in the federal courts, the district school board may be ordered to admit them or face contempt-of-court charges.

Just three days before election, President Eisenhower vetoed the Payne-sponsored bill to provide federal...
...three airports and a mazelike coastline of winding waterways, Greater Miami is a plotter's playground for its terrain alone. What makes it paradise are the cops, many of whom make less than $300 a month and are in the market for a little extra spending money. Rebels admit privately that the officers "give us the vista gorda"-ihe blank, unseeing eye. Nor do the police play favorites. Three Dade County deputy sheriffs junket down to Batista's Cuba, come home bragging openly that "it didn't cost a cent; we got the red-carpet treatment." Marcos...
