...muggy afternoon of July 19, more than 1,000 Negroes and Puerto Ricans completely disrupted the dedication of a new industrial park in central Brooklyin with a loud and angry demonstration against segregated schools. The signs they carried demanded "More Land for Schools, Less for Factories...
...middle school is also recommended in one of the Central I middle school districts although Westinghouse High School is located within the district.

Two of the engines performed obediently, but the third refused to work. The resulting unbalanced thrust threw Surveyor into...
