...report on Howard University's research on sickle-cell anemia, the debilitating blood disease indigenous to the Negro; interviews with Actor William Marshall and Playwright Ed Bullins, with an extract from the latter's A Son Comes Home; and a fascinating look at children's games compiled by Leon Bibb...
...federal grants-in-aid to states and municipalities (now $14.9 billion a year) and Great Society programs. "You can't stop a college building," says Ohio's finance director, Richard L. Krabach. "The kids are already here now." Adds Kansas' budget director, James W. Bibb: "I won't consider the President's request at all.

Woes & Wiles. Williston Bibb Barrett is an oversubtle Southerner who has lost the gift for action and adopted instead the stance of watcher, listener and wanderer.

The last two revenuers killed in a liquor raid were shot a little more than a year ago in Alabama's Bibb County. Even so, argued the feds in U.S. v. Gainey, chances that innocent hunters may stumble on stills are "very, very small. Other rural possibilities-a lost motorist or an airman who parachutes to safety-are even more remote." Indeed, the feds figured the odds against a stranger ever tangling...
