...vote," says Amelia Boynton, chairman of the Dallas County Voters League, "has cost worry, blood, sweat, jobs and lives. It is a privilege he should have had all the time. It is one he should use regardless." In Dallas County many Negroes are bent on ousting racist Sheriff Jim Clark and support his rival, Selma's relatively moderate Public Safety Director Wilson Baker. - The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee under Stokely Carmichael has mounted a door-to-door campaign to keep Negroes away from the primary polls, even if it means the defeat of Negro candidates or sympathetic whites.

Harvey Olson, a Chicago travel agent who lumps Europe into something called Aboard and Abroad (the latest edition of which was published in 1964), is more pretentious than Clark about his restaurants but hardly sounder. Olson's favorite restaurant "in all the world" rates only- in Michelin, and third on his Paris list is a copy of Chicago's Gaslight Club.

A high school sophomore, she has had to give up classes. Jackson Memorial specialists...
Last week, in her 15th week of sneezing (a world record, so far as medical archives show), June Clark tried a different, long-distance-style therapy. Sent off by Bade County's Mayor Chuk Hall, she took her sinuses to Arizona-as the guest of Mesa's Chamber of Commerce and Jaycees, which have an understandable interest in promoting the curative powers of Arizona's supposedly pollen-free and allergen-free air. There, June still sneezed, but not so often...
