...TIME's patronizing account of Appalachia [Nov. 5] and its smug assumption that it is desirable to "transform the mountaineer into a middle-class American" makes my blood boil. One of the great glories of America is the wide diversity of people to be found within its borders. Homogenizing our population is deadening our culture as surely as leveling the Rocky Mountains and the Grand Canyon would ruin our scenery...
...neat latrines. Very impressed by wooden tables in many compounds for dishes to dry on. After lunch I repeated my dish washing demonstration before appreciative audience--much giggling when I explained how American men know how to wash dishes. Shortly after we arrived we gave another demonstration: how to boil water to make it safe. Once boiled, we strained it through a cloth to get the mud and dust out, then passed the cloth around so everyone could see the dirt deposit that was left. All in all an excellent job by J.

Only now, however, is desalinization being attempted on a large scale...

In Americus, Ga., white toughs beat five civil rights workers, and demonstrations continued-but county officials appointed three Negro voting clerks and registered more than 300 Negro voters in a single day.

In Chicago, civil rights demonstrators marched outside the modest home of Mayor Richard Daley- and were pelted with eggs and tomatoes by Daley's white...
...fatherland. They manage to subdue their Nazi guards (negligible opposition), don Nazi uniforms (good fit), and bluff or blast their way through Florence, Verona, Milan, and a burning fuel depot into Switzerland. A train pursued by troops and planes across enemy terrain can be counted on to boil over with excitement from time to time, and one battle scene filmed at dizzying altitudes in the Italian Alps brings the action to a peak...
