...alliance of S.N.C.C. and CORE, denouncing King's Chicago housing accord as "treasonous" and a sellout, threatened last week to defy King's truce-and hopes for racial peace in Chicago-by marching into whites-only Cicero (TIME, Sept. 2) as King had planned to do before Chicago leaders met his demands. Some members voiced hopes for violence that would tarnish King's philosophy of nonviolence. In anticipation of "the tumult, riot or mob disorder" that might result from the march. Governor Otto Kerner at week's end activated some 2,000 National Guardsmen for duty...
Today the city itself, with a population of 2,800,000, rambles through 469 sq. mi. of desert, mountain and valley. But the city is only the core of a vast, amoeba-like mass that makes up the Los Angeles metropolitan area, a 5,000-sq. mi. tract that includes Los Angeles County (pop. 7,020,000) and such neighboring cities as Long Beach and San Bernardino. Though Los Angeles proper ranks third in population among U.S. cities (after New York and Chicago), Greater Los Angeles is already the second-most-populous metropolis in the U.S., is almost sure...
...shaded Encino in the San Fernando Valley and Venice, a tawdry oceanside spot ten miles to the south. The county's 75 other incorporated cities may be either outlying areas or, like opulent Beverly Hills, an enclave within the central city. Most U.S. cities have a single downtown core, but Los Angeles has dozens, such as Alcoa's new Century City complex in West Los Angeles, or a new behemoth shopping center in the San Fernando Valley...

He is banking on rhetoric proposing a "creative" rather than a "great" society to appeal to a general undercurrent of malaise he dimly perceives in the California electorate. He also knows that people are tired of Pat Brown and fair housing laws...
...plot, the film boasts a CORE sampling of injustices that supposedly explain the color-conscious hero's heavy drinking and bad temper. Seldom is there any doubt that what makes Adam run is Sammy. Carpentered into the story line are all the predictable solo turns-a crying jag, a tender love episode, a scene in which he wields a broken bottle to make his agent grovel, and a reprise in which Davis crawls across a restaurant floor to shine Lawford's shoes. There is a semifinal glimpse of the doomed genius staggering through city streets, climaxed...
