Boston and Louisville demonstrated anew that Northern cities are no happier with school desegregation than their counterparts in the South. Since the historic Supreme Court decision of 1954 that separate schools can never be equal, hundreds of communities have been forced by the courts to desegregate. Most are in the South, which had dual black and white school systems for nearly a century. More recently, the N.A.A.C.P. and other civil rights organizations have successfully challenged the legality of segregated schools in the North.

Rockefeller's optimism about the future of America seems undimmed. From the back seat of his limousine last week he admired anew the classic lines of the Supreme Court building, he pondered the herd of joggers around the Tidal Basin ("Must do this on their lunch hour... Must be good for you"). Being rushed to an appointment for which he was already late, he spotted a street vendor below the Capitol. "Gee," said the Vice President, "I wish I could stop...

They met their friends; I saw my schoolmates. There was a hedge row we called the Vialle dei Sederi ["Bottom Boulevard"] because of the great row of buttocks of people sitting there talking.

...customers. Even in industries dominated by a few big companies (autos, oil, steel, computers, etc.), those firms compete fiercely for market shares. Advertising has failed to sell products as varied as the Edsel and maxiskirts. Strong consumer resistance can occasionally force price reductions, as the recent auto rebates proved anew.
