...TIME loads the dice inexcusably in its report [June 17] on London's reaction to Osborne's play, A Bond Honoured. Writes TIME: "London's critics cast one look at the tasteless mayhem . . . and held their noses." Of the twelve major newspaper critics, at least four held their breath. Harold Hobson in the Sunday Times said of Osborne: "He is not only our most important dramatist; he is also our chief prophet."

Most militant of all civil rights leaders, Carmichael, free on bond, shouted his anger: "We want black power! Every courthouse in Mississippi ought to be burned down to get rid of the dirt." Marchers and local Negroes picked up the chant: "Black power! Black power!" Even then, officials of Greenwood remained silent, and eventually relented on most of the marchers...
Twelve years ago, Brundage offered his collection to San Francisco. By his stipulation, it took a $3,000,000 public bond issue to raise funds to house it, which the city voted in 1960. He also insisted on appointing his own curator, Yvon d'Argencé, a Frenchman who grew up in Viet Nam and who speaks and writes three Oriental languages...
