...some streets, men who cannot find jobs sit on stoops playing pinochle and coon can and Georgia skin, or drinking "Dirty Bird" wine at 60? a pint from bottles hidden in brown paper bags. Buzzing around them are children who frolic unsupervised far into the night, wearing latchkeys on strings around their necks because there is nobody at home to care for them. Half of Harlem's children under 18 live with only one parent or none, and it is small wonder that the juvenile delinquency rate is more than double New York's or that the venereal...

Those first satellites, which orbit high above the normal Van Allen radiation belt, says Dr. James J. Coon of the AEC's Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, have detected peculiar cone-shaped clouds of negatively charged particles, presumably electrons, that trail the earth to an unknown distance, circling at the same speed with which the earth turns, so that they always remain on the side away from the sun.

But when Foreman's lads grow misty-eyed over a music box waltz, they prove they are vandals with heart...

...Senate in 1948, tangled with Memphis Boss Edward H. Crump, who labeled Kefauver a "pet coon." Kefauver laboriously replied, "I may be a pet coon, but I'll never be Mr. Crump's pet coon." At his next campaign appearance he clapped a coonskin cap on his head, pointed to the tail and said, "A coon may have rings around his tail, but this coon will never have a ring through his nose." He beat the Crump machine, and more important than the ridiculous cap was Kefauver's decision to shake at least 500 hands...
