Later, the Mayor spoke to the demonstrators, who tentatively put down their pointed demnads, "Jim Crow Must Go" and "Mayor Lindsay, We Want Schools," to listen. He talked about the need for better schools and about the city's growing resources to provide them. In the end, the crowd dispersed peacefully and everyone, including the Mayor, went home with a story to tell...

Comparing just the new programs of the two seasons, the listenership loss is 2,800,000. This should give TV programmers little to crow about considering that, since last year, the number of U.S. households with TV sets has jumped...
