...inequality of treatment by the police may actually tend to shrink rather than inflate the statistics of Negro crime. Says Newsman Wartman in the next breath: "When Negroes violate social morals-sex, drinking, gambling-white cops bypass this as 'typically Negro.' " Many Negro leaders protest that the police are far from diligent enough in dealing with crimes committed against Negroes-and Negroes are the victims in the great majority of Negro crimes of violence. Since Negroes, even when they are victims or innocent bystanders, are often wary of calling the police, many offenses of disorder and assault...
...newest method goes straight back to the oldest. Among the growing number of researchers who contend that nothing beats wafting breath with the lungs is a group from Baltimore City Hospitals and the universities of Maryland and Buffalo.

She ranged from a lonely flute to a sixty-mile gale...
...paradoxical recession, perhaps the biggest paradox of all is the leapfrogging race between prices and wages that has continued long after the general economy paused for a breath. Though price cuts are on the rise (see Metals), they have not been fast or sharp enough to hold down the steady rise in the cost-of-living index. Nor has labor trimmed its wage demands in the face of poor sales and lower profits (see Autos). Last week Chicago Federal Reserve President Carl E.
