Conversations revealed a significant, if concealed, "backlash" sentiment at Antioch. I was told of resentment which apparently grew up between three non-black students who were at Antioch and the black students from their high-school community, and of shooting incidents which have occurred.

Can the U.S. go on risking the backlash effects of helping some needy people at the expense of others who refuse to share their gains-or does it sorely need a unifying national challenge, a moral equivalent of Pearl Harbor?

In Ohio, for example, Republican Frances P. Bolton was defeated by Democratic Representative Charles A. Vanik. The deciding factor was Mrs. Bolton's age: she is 83, Vanik 55. In Missouri, Democrat James W. Symington, 41, handsome former chief of protocol for the U.S. State Department, took the suburban St. Louis County district that Republican...
