...little demagogue with a long record of Communist associations, who made a name of sorts for himself last year when he instigated a rent strike in Harlem. Gray sent out a call for "100 skilled black revolutionaries who are ready to die. There is only one thing that can correct the situation and that's guerrilla warfare!" He exhorted "revolutionaries" to establish platoons and to recruit 100 men apiece. "This city can be changed by 50,000 well-organized Negroes. They can determine what will happen in New York City!" A Black Nationalist named Edward Mills Davis issued...
...last week were the latest statistics for Soviet industrial production, showing a 7½% increase in the first half of 1964. Many Western experts suspect the real figure to be about 5%, but even if correct, it would be the smallest percentage increase claimed since 1942. The usual claim in recent years has been closer to 10%. The lag appears to be caused by crop setbacks, which affected the food production industry, and a sharp drop in the increase in productivity.

That was just what happened in Sumter County, where Civil Rights Worker Ralph Allen will almost certainly be tried again-this time by a legally correct jury...
...schools, which minimize memorizing in order to stir thought, cram schools are devoted to organizing the student's knowledge with forced-draft methods. Chicago's ebullient crammer, Thomas J. Harty, spends seven hours a day firing off questions, listening to the class consensus, then firing back the correct answers. The method works so well that one year 92% of his students passed the Illinois bar exam. Denver's Gerald Kopel, a former newsman-turned-lawyer, crams his students by simulating actual exams and blasting bad spellers for such barbarisms as adultary, devorse, drunkedness. Austin Lawyer Arthur...
