Although the constitutional right of black children to attend schools with whites has long been legally established, Southern politicians were again stirring up opposition to school desegregation. They found a surprising ally in Connecticut's liberal Senator Abraham Ribicoff, who echoed Southern sentiment by charging that the North is guilty of "monumental hypocrisy" and "rampant racism" in its failure to integrate its own schools more fully. As if on cue, a Los Angeles superior court judge ruled two days later that the nation's most spread out (711 square miles) school system must balance its 583 schools racially...
...make it easier for us to defend them," said Ribicoff, "are as deeply embedded in the large metropolitan communities of the North as they are in the small rural communities of the South." He cited Government studies that show that nearly half of all black students outside the South attend schools that are more than 95% black (compared with more than 70% in the South).

"Dennis Hopper and I represent a complete misunderstanding of what freedom's all about," he claims. "Both concepts are untenable, whether it's scoring...
...audience was not disappointed. It consisted of more than 2,100 brokers, bankers and other businessmen, who had paid $325 each last week (all together nearly $700,000) to attend the third annual Institutional Investor conference, an affair that could have been called Gold Diggers of 1970. They expected, with good reason, to be provided with both entertainment and provocative comments on the management of money. Those are the elements that the speaker, 28-year-old Gilbert E. Kaplan, has mixed to create one of the fastest-growing businesses on Wall Street and a personal net worth of about...
