...marriages. But no violence. Fewer than 150 youngsters were arrested-most of them on charges of indecent exposure or peddling dope. Around Dallas, this pacific result enraged angry citizens, who wanted the cops to bust the kids. Lewisville Chief of Police Ralph Adams, who had handled the situation with caution and restraint, resigned. "The trouble was coming from our own hometown gawkers," he said. "If I'd sent narcotics agents in with 50,000 youngsters, we would have...
...Nixon Administration's caution has tended 'to blur the guidelines for school desegregation, casting doubt on the inevitability-or at least the near-term certainty-of enforced integration in the South. The result is a loss in valuable psychological momentum. For local Southern officials, the pressure to integrate can be cruel, and the most effective argument they can make to their constituents is that integration is inevitable under the law.

Counsels of Caution. Despite the incendiary speeches and the orchestrated street demonstrations in Arab capitals, few experts expected a major conflagration.

Yet even that startling leap back into the past amounts to only a few moments in the 4.5 billion-year history of the earth. Three billion years before man's ancestors took their separate evolutionary path from the apes, life already existed and flourished. Despite...
...long since become a cliche to talk of the caution and deliberation of Richard Nixon's presidency, which sometimes makes the White House seem like Miltown Mansion. But last week, for a change, the people's business was humming at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and on Capitol Hill at a tempo brisker than any heard since Lyndon Johnson's happiest days?and the tune was pretty much the President's. Nixon returned to the capital early in the week from his round-the-world tour with stops in Asia and Rumania; six days later, he flew to California for a month...
