Close behind him, in the vestibule by the water cooler, a guy in a western that hat and his friend light a joint as they leave the exam. The hat-man continues to smoke it in the hall by the Civil War Dead plaques, waiting for something. He looks like a good old boy, tall and bearded and tough-looking. Someone asks him what exam he has just gotten out of. He sneers, "Ah, uh...I don't know, there's a whole bunch of 'em in there," and turns around, toking...

Indeed, an increasing tolerance among moderate blacks of a cooler, slower pace of desegregation is already becoming apparent in some cities. Militants, of course, have long scoffed at the idea that black children must be seated next to whites in order to receive a good education.
