Some actresses sit and brood inwardly for hours when they are getting ready for a performance. Geraldine Page, on the other hand, sometimes screams "Help! Help!" at the rafters. No one comes running. Everyone knows that she is merely trying to bring her high voice down to a broader tone, and moreover, that this is one girl who needs no help...
Last week, when the Supreme Court issued a far broader ban on religious observances in schools, the reaction was relatively mild. For one thing the court, apparently flabbergasted by the protests against its 1962 decision, had learned a bit about public relations...
Searching for a broader solution, the Administration realizes that it must somehow induce its affluent allies to shoulder a greater part of the foreign aid bill and that it must stimulate U.S. exports, which have declined from 30% of the world total in 1954 to 24% lately.

In a broader sense, the chicken tariff has become the test of whether the Common Market really wants freer trade with the U.S. After Europeans-and chiefly the Germans-began developing a taste for chicken five years ago, U.S. exports rose spectacularly, reaching $28 million in 1962's first six months.

"The boycott seems to be moderating," says one businessman. "But it has been effective all right." In Macon, Ga., last year, Negroes discontinued riding buses to protest segregated seating, came back only after the bus company, suffering a 50% fare loss, capitulated. Charleston, S.C., Negroes won 16 clerks' jobs...
