...against the black man," he told a church meeting. "I saw New York's night of Birmingham horror!" He claimed that he saw a cop draw his service revolver and deliberately shoot a woman in the groin (the woman was actually nicked in the thigh by a ricocheting bullet). "I saw the blood pouring off heads of men and women!'' Farmer cried. "It was my son and your son and every black mother's and father's son who died before that policeman's bullets...

Whenever the Pathet Lao got particularly obnoxious, he and his men were sent out from Vientiane over jungle villages to float down silently and kill.

At week's end, doctors were hopeful of saving Tito's life, but one bullet may have damaged his spinal cord, possibly paralyzing him from the neck down. And Jimènez? The word reaching frustrated police is that he is hiding out in the home of another political pal, one who has legislative immunity, and is thus quite beyond their reach...
