"For months and months I was in this thing," he explained, "and all the time Jim was saying that we were just about to round the corner.

...something else. Most of them sport gaudily painted doors and rainbow window shades; in one window near the Drogstore is a gigantic copy of a canned-fruit ad that, in red, green and gold, proclaims "Del Monte Boobs."

...first night's unrest started with a scuffle in front of a Dixie Hills supermarket between a Negro security guard and a Negro youth with a can of beer; the second night's with the arrest of Black Power Leader Stokely Carmichael, 26, and four companions, for disregarding police orders to leave the area. Undaunted, Carmichael returned the next night to demonstrate his peculiar flair for inflammable oratory...
