...architects who care to tackle such specifications have sprouted some of the most eye-catching buildings in the nation (see color pages). Architect Richard J. Neutra's pioneering (1940) Crow Island Elementary School in Winnetka, 111. did away with fixed seats and high ceilings. Architect Mario J. Ciampi's prizewinning Westmoor High School (1958) in Daly City near San Francisco is big, stunning architecture: shimmering glass, enamel murals, barrel-vaulted roof. Grabbing whatever space is left to schools, other designs march ingeniously up and down hillsides. New hexagonal and pentagonal structures reach out for sun and air, proclaiming...

(TIME, Feb. 22], the Gandhi-like Negro civil disobedience campaign, without any apparent central organized direction, continued to spread...

Moderate Meany has steadily but quietly pressured unions to drop their color bars; in his 20 years of leadership the number of all white A.F.L. unions has dropped from 26 to only one - the 97,000-member Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. Even so, there are Jim Crow locals aplenty, and Randolph publicly criticized Meany at the union's convention last fall for not purging them. Meany blew up, roared at Randolph, "Who the hell appointed you as guardian of all Negroes in America?" Since then, Randolph has been working round the clock to show...
