...guests from outside Georgia. Ollie's Barbecue was a tougher problem, since it is eleven blocks from the nearest interstate highway, does not advertise, seeks no transients. Although it is in a Negro neighborhood and employs 24 Negroes, it serves Negroes only from a take-out counter. Yet Ollie's beef-some $70,000 worth last year-was purchased from a Birmingham wholesaler who imported it from Hormel meat-packing plants outside of Alabama. Racial discrimination, ruled the court, affects the volume of Ollie's business, and therefore the amount of meat it buys...
...decision also frees some $2,000,000 in bond money posted by individuals and civil rights groups, dating back to the winter of 1960 when a band of determined Negro students first sat down at a variety-store lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., and refused to move. That money is not likely to remain idle for long. Civil rights leaders plan to use it to push voting-registration drives and-despite general compliance with the new civil rights laws in metropolitan areas-to push into rural Southern hamlets where the law has never even been tested and WHITE ONLY signs...
...third possibility, some kind of compromise counter-proposal, is far more likely. But it is this possibility to which Savio seems to have given the least thought.

This idea, plus Savio's notion that the University of California wouldn't be a very great loss to anyone, may spell trouble ahead at Berkeley. Savio's mind is not at all made up, and the people around...
Dispatch Case. The traitor is John W. Butenko, 39, American-born son of Russian immigrants, honors graduate in engineering, trusted employee in New Jersey of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corp., and holder of top security clearance as a key electronics technician dealing with counter-strike operations of the Strategic Air Command. Trailed for six months by FBI agents, Butenko was picked up in his automobile at a deserted railroad station one night in October 1963. With him were two Soviet diplomats (since expelled from the U.S. after invoking diplomatic immunity), and Igor Ivanov, a "chauffeur" for Amtorg, the Soviet...
...Communist has deserted his Jewish wife and child, abandoning them to torture and death in a Nazi concentration camp. An unmarried but pregnant N.Y.U. coed has lost her way to a Brooklyn abortionist and stumbled into the German's desolate stationery shop to sit on one of the counter stools where each character recites his or her autocryography. The theatergoer is thus once again in the weepy, hysterical presence of collectors of guilt, dispensers of self-pity, proclaimers of futility...
