But Bull Connor's cops, frazzled from weeks of pressure, were all but helpless. Negro rioters ruled almost until dawn Sunday and calm came only after 250 Alabama state troopers invaded the city. As the sun rose Sunday, a sullen peace descended on Birmingham. There had been no winners in a war that had no heroes. Bull Connor was by no means Birmingham's only shame; the city's newspapers...

The riotous crowds ended three years of relative political calm, and faced tough little King Hussein, 27, with his deepest crisis. Two-thirds of Jordan's 1,800,000 people are Palestinian Arabs, who care little about the nation's stability, progress or growing industry. Above all else, they are intent on eliminating Israel and regaining their former homes, and see Arab unity as the only way to do it; to them, Egypt...
