...Pictures, Please. Downtown in the Loop, cops were stationed on every corner and in the middle of every block. Federal agents were assigned to the roof, main corridors, kitchen and service areas of the Conrad Hilton Hotel, headquarters of the convention, where three candidates-Vice President Hum phrey, Eugene McCarthy and Georgia's Lester Maddox-and three of the del egations were staying. Other agents were on round-the-clock duty outside the candidates' suites, checking passengers debarking from elevators. The Sheraton-Blackstone across the street, where Senator George McGovern was billeted, got equal protection. Press photographers were...
...police helicopters patrolled the route. President Johnson, if he attends at all, will avoid this danger, zipping in and out by helicopter. As an added precaution, a dummy portico, modeled after the entrance to the White House, was erected in front of the amphitheatre's main door to block the aim of any rifleman. Even the airspace up to an altitude of 2,500 ft. above the convention site was banned to all traffic ex cept official planes and helicopters...
...professors in the OEO program have already resigned from the school and have filed suit in federal court to block the ruling. The third says he will quit after this year.

Thus, even though he made no progress at Karlovy Vary in trying to reverse Czechoslovakia's internal reforms, Ulbricht...
...Culture Block. For the Negro doctor in the U.S. today, this is a pinprick hardly worth remarking. He bears the scars of many deeper cuts. He is accustomed to being rebuffed by medical schools, by medical colleagues (especially hospital staff members and administrators), by medical societies, by white patients-and even by black patients, many of whom think a Negro doctor is good enough for their sniffles but not for their major complaints. The cumulative effect is that the number of black doctors, relative to the Negro population, is declining. The nation has only 7,000 Negro physicians. If there...
