...Bedlam broke loose when the group began to march off. A rock crashed into one Negro's chest. Pop bottles and cherry bombs filled the air. Scores of whites surged off the sidewalks and waded into the column with clubs, knives and fists. When some young Negroes began hitting back, the local cops, until then languid spectators, broke it up. "We got to go back," said a shaken King afterward. "This is the meanest town in the country." The marchers did return under heavy police guard, but they also learned that Mississippi had another town to rival Philadelphia...
...easy for Beebe. Start in front, he ordered his drivers, stay in front, force the Ferraris to press, and wait for them to break down. It worked. Pouring on the gas, nudging 210 m.p.h. on the 3.5-mile-long Musanne straight, Ken Miles in the No. 1 Ford broke the official lap record five times in the first 20 laps. Then Gurney took over.

Two weeks ago, the court struck down a franchise system under which Brown Shoe Co. gave architectural plans, group-rate insurance, and sales aids to the 3% of U.S. shoe retailers who concentrated on selling its lines. In that decision, which could upset scores of franchising deals across the nation, Black held that the complaining FTC did not even need to show that the setup reduced competition...
...This month General Motors laid the cornerstone for a $100 million factory-G.M.'s second in Antwerp-that will be the company's main European assembly point, employ more than 6,000 Belgians and turn out 300,000 Opels a year. Last week chemical-making B.A.S.F. broke ground for a plant that will ultimately be as large as the company's home base in Germany...
