Reported TIME Correspondent Jack White, who covered the 1968 racial uprising in Washington, D.C.: "The cops have learned a lot about riot control in the last decade. In the past, officers hopelessly outnumbered by angry crowds frequently fired on them and increased their anger. But in New York, large numbers of calm, well-disciplined officers avoided adding to the violence. In Bedford-Stuyvesant, for example, the situation gradually came under control as enough police arrived to station four or five cops on every corner of the most troubled area, while other cops prowled in marked and unmarked cars.

Scimitars of Anger. A famous and acclaimed Nabokov was stylistically careful but never shy about expressing his views on the modern world that up rooted him. From Switzerland, where he moved in 1959, he flashed scimitars of anger and loosed heavy-hearted outrage at crudities, vulgar sentimentality and artistic pretensions that he lumped un der the termposhlost.

...harvest of these policies has been widespread disillusion and anger. Some 90,000 Laotians have already fled across the Mekong River to Thailand, and an additional 1,000 leave each month. Thousands of others actively oppose the regime; as a result, nearly half of Laos, including much of the fertile Mekong Plain, is contested by insurgents. TIME Hong Kong Correspondent David DeVoss reports that in the north, some 4,500 fiercely independent Meo hill tribesmen operate out of the former CIA base in Long Cheng. Although they have only 3,000 rifles and a dwindling cache of ammunition, they have...
