Whites, some of whom possibly ascribe to neighbors prejudices that they would not admit to in themselves, feel strongly (67% to 12%) that most others in the community would be against blacks moving in. By 59% to 26%, they think the advent of blacks would hurt real estate values. Suburbanites favor integrated schools, but only on a limited basis. They prefer neighborhood schools and oppose having blacks bused in from other districts by nearly 3 to 1; even teenagers agree...

Women in pants are no longer restricted to appearances at the local supermarket but are welcomed at offices, restaurants, theaters and nightclubs around the country...
...fighting in South Viet Nam ceased for 24 hours last week, to mark a Christmas truce. Meanwhile a crucial but often forgotten war continues in Cambodia-and, with the advent of the dry season, is gaining in intensity. There the Communist forces, composed primarily of North Vietnamese regulars, plus some Viet Cong and Cambodian Khmer Rouge, are as determined as ever to isolate the capital of Phnom-Penh from the rest of the country and thus discredit or even oust the "salvation government" of Premier...
