...both wise and just for Negro children to attend the same schools as whites, [but] I am firmly convinced-not only that integrated schools are not required-but that the Constitution does not permit any interference whatsoever by the federal government in the field of education." Says he, taking aim at the 1954 Supreme Court desegregation decision: "The Constitution is what its authors intended it to be and said it was-not what the Supreme Court says...
Rural Cities. The harassed government has fought the Red domination of the countryside by building "agrovilles"; peasant families have been moved from their homes scattered along either side of the canals and resettled in rural "cities" provided with electricity, hospitals, schools and central markets.The aim: to group the peasants in units large enough for self-defense.

...Shift in Aim. Despite five years of intensive efforts to get everybody in the U.S. Salk-vaccinated (about 300 million shots have been injected), 91 million people still have not had any vaccine.

Next, boycotters turned on another Bangor dairy owned by Hillman's son, heckled him, his family and his customers until he went out of business last...
...Beginning. The President's moratorium decision left plenty of obstacles still lying in the way of a safe guarded test-ban treaty. For one thing, the Russians may really not want any agreement at all, may be dangling concessions to prolong the talks and thus achieve their original aim of getting the U.S. to halt nuclear tests without any agreement on inspection. On this, the U.S. might get a better reading at the summit in mid-May. But even if President Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev resolve the basic conflicts on inspection and control measures at the summit, it will...
