He also prepared an emergency plan that had the virtue of simplicity: in the event of trouble, he would simply turn the city off with a hermetic round-the-clock cur few, thus isolating rioters, minimizing danger to the innocent, and giving the police and National Guard as much elbow room as they needed. Disturbances started when a group of Negro teen-agers left a church dance and began breaking store windows. Looting, sniping and arson immediately followed...
