...Munich; the East German government banned all travel to West Germany for the week of the congress. But a small group of East Germans managed to get there by crossing to the West zone before the ban went into effect. Many were disappointed that the Pope failed to attend. Travel-hungry Pope John was reported to have at last decided that such a precedent-breaking foreign excursion would inevitably bring demands for more papal visitations. One feature of the conference was the celebration of the early Christian custom of agape, or love feast, in Munich parish homes...
...Connally ordered the biggest segregated school district in the U.S., Houston's 173 schools, to integrate "with all deliberate speed." Two months ago Houston's school board blandly submitted a plan to integrate only three schools-and pledged that no child in the district need attend them. Last week Judge Connally cracked down, ordered integration of all kindergartens next fall, and of a grade a year thereafter. He called the board's plan "a palpable sham and subterfuge...
...time the men around here, if indeed they are men at all, stopped letting the girls over at Radcliffe push them around. Every Saturday night 1100 Cliffies in search of respectable entertainment herd a similar number of Harvardian sheep into Boston.

Back in Hyannisport, Bobby showed the lines of fatigue under his suntan, but he had no time...
...time now to get down to the serious business of integration," said Federal District Court Judge Caleb Layton III last year to school officials in Delaware. He ordered grade-a-year desegregation over the next twelve years. Some 46% of Delaware's 77,000 public-school children now attend integrated schools (mainly around Northern-oriented Wilmington). But last week Negro parents, who contend that the pace is still painfully slow in the rest of Delaware, won a significant ruling from the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. By a 2-to-1 vote, the court struck down...
