...sprinkling of pen-and-ink caricatures with oversized heads by David Levin. Last week, to the wondering eyes of its white, middle-class readers, Review devoted the lower third of a cover dealing with books on Negro rebellion to a detailed, do-it-yourself diagram of a Molotov cocktail. Some were amused, some were startled, none were likely to make much use of the blueprint. What was meant to give everybody a bang turned out to be just a little...
...know each other; after all, it was the fifth party that Marylou had given in eight days. Nor was it because that, in honor of the Belmont Ball committee, she had invited them to, of all things, an after-the-races tea dance. "There are so many cocktail parties," Marylou said, "I wanted to do something just a little different."

Releases are fired off without regard for destination or deadline. Throughout the entire 16 weeks that the New York Herald Tribune was struck in 1963, releases continued pouring into its offices-some of them by special messenger. This kind...
...hats" who proved so effective in Tampa and Dayton (see following story) was recruited the next day to help dampen any potential riot sparks. Dixie Hills looked as if it might avoid serious bloodshed. Shortly after dark, however, there was another brief flurry of rock throwing, and a Molotov cocktail landed at the feet of policemen patrolling the area. Almost instantaneously at least one shotgun blast was fired, killing an onlooker and injuring three others, one critically. Though police insisted that a sniper had fired the shot, all four victims were indisputably hit with the No. 00 shot used...
