...state troopers. Next day, a number of troopers studiously read newspapers a block away while white rowdies broke windows of four cars carrying Negro youngsters to school, chased and beat the occupants. As tension mounted, the Federal Government mercifully stepped in. At Oxford, Miss., U.S. District Judge Claude Clayton issued a restraining order warning Grenada officials to protect the Negro children or face federal contempt charges. With that, the state troopers surrounded the schools to protect Negro students, thereby persuading Negro demonstrators to turn back. Police eventually arrested eight Grenada whites for attacking Negroes, and FBI men followed with...
Even though the city council finally called for "peace and tranquillity," any realistic hopes for continued order plainly rested with state and federal officials. Judge Clayton, suspending school for a day while Grenada officials attended a hearing in his courtroom, at week's end replaced the restraining order against Grenada officials with a permanent injunction; he also sentenced Constable Carroll to four months in prison for resisting the service of a federal subpoena last July. Governor Johnson, a moderate by Mississippi standards, charged that Grenada's latest violence was an effort to embarrass him politically, and promised that...
Armpit .38. In the aftermath of Atlanta's riot, it became clear that the principal victim was the Negro cause. Up north, Harlem's Representative Adam Clayton Powell had only encomiums for Carmichael's style of leadership.

...Vice President Charles Fogarty, and Director Thomas S. Lament, a retired vice chairman of Morgan Guaranty Trust. In an 81-page opinion, Judge Bonsai found that the ten had acted without intent to deceive or defraud anyone. Still standing are charges against Texas Gulf Secretary David Crawford and Richard Clayton, a geophysicist who had helped survey the Timmins ore area. When they bought Texas Gulf stock in April 1964, said the judge, they may have been withholding "material information." Whether they can keep the stock will not be settled, in all likelihood, until after a round of appeals...
...interpretation of Woyzeck, all this is drastically oversimplified; I can hear Tim Mayer and his cast laughing already. However, the mood of the play is one of total futility of existence. And this Mayer has captured economically by using a revolving set (designed by Clayton Koelb) pushed by Woyzeck and other characters in changing from scene to scene. At worst, the unpolished mechanics of the revolve made for some visually awkward scene transitions in the first act. But most of the time, especially when Woyzeck did the pushing, the slow turning of the set neatly captured the hopelessness of Woyzeck...
