Last year N.A.A.C.P. membership increased by 23,239 and its total income by $745,233.77. Included in the association's 1968 membership are 67,586 youth-the largest number of young people in the civil rights movement.

All through his judicial career, though, he has enjoyed great popularity among Detroit's Negroes-and even among a few of the city's whites...
...their disciples out of the state (TIME, Sept. 13). A telepathic organization called the Fellowship of the Ancient Mind has solemnly applied to Los Angeles officials for a salvage permit in order to rescue art works from the ruins after the Ultimate Quake. For the first time in years, civil defense officials report a run on survival kits, consisting of first-aid pamphlets and instructions about what to do in case of fires, floods or earthquakes...
