...Your cover story on the riots [Aug. 20] is a generally fair recital of Los Angeles' problems. But it is unfortunate that you did not go further into the subject of police brutality. The problem is more subtle than you indicate. The Negro's complaint is, in most cases, not one of physical brutality but of arrogance, of a lack of human decency and respect.

Autograph seekers stopped him on the street. Offers for books and magazine pieces have begun pouring in. Cleveland plans a hero's welcome when he returns home next week, and Ohio's Republican Congressman William Minshall has proposed that Tinkerbelle be placed in the Smithsonian Institution alongside Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis...
