...huge undertaking. Bedford-Stuyvesant houses something like 350,000 people in its 464 city blocks. That's a population the size of Rochester's, an area equivalent to downtown Boston from the waterfront to Back Bay. The neighborhood supports few businesses that are not owned by whites who live elsewhere, and few lucrative businesses of any type. A third of Bedford-Stuyvesant's household are headed by women; on warm days, their children clog the sidewalks and whatever part space there is. Unemployment is high, especially among youths who drop out of school. "At my school," one girl said recently...
Teddy Roosevelt not only enjoyed taking telephone messages for his six children, he seemed happiest when playing with kids-particularly the noisy, energetic clan of 16 Roosevelt young cousins who congregated in the summers at his sprawling house on Long Island's Oyster Bay. He loved to lead them on cross-country hikes, and if he climbed over a huge log or waded through a muddy pond, each child was expected to do the same. When one wet and bedraggled little Roosevelt tried to explain to her angry mother that she merely had followed the leader, the mother snapped...
...strong, from points as disparate as Detroit, Mich., and Dedham, Mass.-most of them young, many of them carrying posters, all of them out for a spring housecleaning of their passions. In San Francisco, 55,000 gathered from points as distant as Coronado, Calif., and Coos Bay, Ore. The avowed aim of the "Spring Mobilization to End the War in Viet Nam" was to demonstrate to President Johnson and the world the depth of feeling in the U.S. against the conflict. The end result -aside from probably delighting Hanoi's Ho Chi Minh-was to demonstrate that Americans...
...similar to those found in the burned craft, where the wiring revealed "poor installation, design and workmanship." Though the investigators acknowledged that the precise cause of the fire "most likely will never be positively identified," they said it was "most probably" caused by a faulty conductor in an equipment bay under Grissom's couch. Apparently, current from the conductor "arced"-or spurted-to another object, and the blaze began. Almost immediately, it raged out of control in the cabin's 100% oxygen atmosphere, which was capable of turning any spark into a conflagration. Some 70 Ibs. of inflammable...
...plight of a reporter who is faced with the decision of whether or not to print information which might be used as propaganda in the cold war, or which might prove diplomatically embarrassing to our government. The question is best presented through example; first, should reporters have exposed the Bay of Pigs adventure; second should reporters have published Kennedy's plan to intercept Russian ships carrying missiles to Cuba. Presumably in the first instance they might have saved the U.S. from one of its most embarrassing international incidents, while in the second case, they did well to keep silent...
