...Your story on Senator Richard Russell and the South's fight on the so-called civil rights bill was, in TIME'S fashion, just one more sermon for compulsory integration-not so effective a sermon, however, as your picture of Manhattan's integrated teen-age gangsters was in support of Senator Russell and segregation...
Granting Life. Saturn, which Goya painted in old age, on a wall of his house near Madrid, is certainly tyrannical. How could he have lived with such images?
