...three cities, thousands of white Democrats crossed party lines to vote against Stokes and Hatcher while Mrs. Hicks got nearly half of Boston's white ballots. "The great mass of white voters in Gary and Cleveland," observed Psephologist Richard Scammon, "voted white, not Republican or Democratic." And CORE'S Floyd McKissick, in discussing Cleveland and Gary, pointed out: "A black man is still black and the parties do not support black candidates with the same vim, vigor and vitality that they do white candidates...
...with the Spark. And things have been getting worse, not better. In a statistical profile of the Negro published by the Federal Government last month, Hough mirrored the national picture: while some Negroes are absorbed into the middle class, the hard core poor grow ever poorer and more numerous. Between 1960 and 1965 in Hough, median family income decreased from $4,732 to $3,966. The percentage of families headed by women increased from...
...Youth Alliance sign on Blue Hills Avenue. Store-fronts for adult organizations -- CORE, Operation Exodus, and the Black Muslims--dominate the block. Jo Jo Ferguson, Alliance's 21-year-old executive director, met me at the door. The barrenness of the outer meeting room contrasted sharply with the rich carpet and shiny desks in the main office. Ferguson, dressed in chinos and a wine-colored sport shirt, insisted on being called "mister." Like most of Alliance's 200 members, he is a high school dropout. Since Ferguson had to go to a meeting, he sent me to talk...
...Faithful, said leaving the Club shortly after Mrs. Hick's 10 p.m. concession speech, "The world is rotten; rotten right to the middle of the core. It's really rotten." The last few hears haven't been good ones for the people who supported Louise Day Hicks; first the Establishment got the Commonwealth to overturn the Neighborhood School idea with the racial imbalance law; and last night it spoiled the victory party by getting Kevin White elected Mayor. "The Establishment--you know, the bankers and the reporters," said a lady in a frilly blue party dress, "that's what licked...
...magnetic fields needed in atom smashers and in controlled fusion experiments, superconductors will eventually replace bulky elecromagnets in these areas. A 1-lb. superconducting magnet cooled by a 200-lb. refrigerating system and powered by a 6-volt battery can produce as intense a magnetic field as an iron-core electromagnet weighing several tons and requiring 50 kilowatts of power. Entire trains could be suspended above their roadbeds in strong magnetic fields produced by superconducting magnets, enabling them to travel more smoothly and with less friction at speeds over 300 m.p.h...
