That long-standing Deep South definition was challenged last week by the Justice Department in a suit filed against the city of Biloxi. In a brand-new kind of assault on segregation in the South's "public" parks and beaches, the U.S. argued that Negroes, too, are members of the public, entitled to equal use of the public beach. The suit was a quick legal response to a protest staged by Negroes on Biloxi's beach in April. Club-wielding whites mauled the Negro bathers; in a nightmare of ambush and reprisal, eight Negroes and two whites were...
...like Japanese scrolls. As they are rolled out, they reveal new images and their message bit by bit. Western classical music in comparison is like a photographic print." Japanese audiences heard Hovhaness conduct several of his older works-Psalm and Fugue, the 28-minute Concerto No. 8-plus two brand-new works written in transit: Symphony No. 8, subtitled "Arjuna," after the name of a mythical hero from Indian folklore; and the choral piece Fuji (based on an 8th century Japanese poem beginning: "As I stepped out on the beach of Tago, I saw snow falling on Mount Fuji...
...Stockholm's Great Church, lights blazed and television cameras blinked one day last week as Lutheran Bishop Helge Ljungberg solemnly placed an alb and gold-embroidered chasuble over the shoulders of a brand-new minister in Sweden's Lutheran state church.

For $30,000 it must build either 1) two new classrooms at an overcrowded elementary school, or 2) a fancy band room at the brand-new Parchment High School. Why is the band room more important? Because the high school is not yet accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools-and apparently will not be without a band room...
...state police quickly moved between marchers and whites, dispersed them by threatening to turn on fire hoses. Violence was averted-for the moment. From tense and angry Montgomery, a deeply troubled city in the very heart of the deeply troubled South, TIME Correspondent Spencer Davidson last week reported the brand-new look of the passive resistance movement spearheaded by Negro youth in 48 cities in eleven Southern states: The young Negro, particularly the young college Negro, is now leading the battle for equal rights. And unless he is tossed into jail and onto a road gang, he is going...
