...important difference was that no matter how it was given, children with eczema had less fever and even fewer severe reactions than normal children who got the standard shot. In 1,409 test vaccinations, only two children developed allergic complications, and they were mild and short-lived. Of the test subjects, 300 were later given the legally required shot of standard calf vaccine. Apparently preconditioned, not one suffered ill effects...
Reflex Anger. Before the passage of that act, militant civil rights leaders descended on the Dallas County city of Selma in March 1965. They delighted at the reflex anger of Dallas Sheriff Jim Clark and his mounted "posse men," his electric-shock cattle prods, and forced marches of Negro children. After the inevitable clash on Sunday, March 7, 1965, when 650 Negroes met tear gas and clubs, Judge Johnson enjoined both Governor George Wallace and Martin Luther King from further action. Then he pondered a tough issue-whether to let the Negroes cross Pettus Bridge, march on Route...
...Wallaces grows out of a 1963 case in which he ordered twelve Negro students admitted to all-white Tuskegee High School. After the whites switched to a private school, receiving state tuition grants of $185 a year, Governor George Wallace sent 216 state troopers to bar the Negro children from the high school. In the ensuing struggle, Wallace mobilized the Alabama National Guard, President Kennedy federalized it, and Wallace closed the school.

...sculpture. In all, 166 pieces by 80 artists have been assembled by Modern Art Curator Maurice Tuchman for a mammoth exhibition: "American Sculpture of the Sixties." Whatever space was left over was taken up by Angelenos. On the first three days, more than 10,000 adults (not counting their children) milled up the steps from Wilshire Boulevard, past the bouncing Calder Hello Girls and the spikelike Rickey Two Red Lines, both set in the museum's pool, and on into the bright assemblage of glinting, sometimes kinetic and nearly always gigantic sculpture...
Much of the show's popularity was undoubtedly traceable to its carnival aspects. Children, especially, delighted in watching Len Lye's kinetic Flip and 2 Twisters, stood entranced as three giant loops of steel jumped and jiggled for 15 minutes at a time. Adults, too, joined in the good-humored spoofs of Claes Oldenburg's gigantic, canvas-covered Ice Cream Cone and Falling Shoestring Potatoes, and his plaster Pecan Pie. They poked their fingers into the spongelike walls of Harold Paris' Pantomina llluma, a "feelies" room containing $10,000 worth of molded, twisted and flat rubber...
