...Today . . . with deep satisfaction, the federal government can state we are a free and independent state," said Chancellor Konrad Adenauer into the microphone, in a little ceremony outside Bonn's Palais Schaumburg. "We are standing, free among the free, allied with former occupation powers in true partnership." No one cheered...
...however radical its decree, the Supreme Court is unlikely to achieve immediate school integration. Where governmental and educational leadership sympathize with the Court, integration can proceed smoothly--as indeed it already has in many border states. But in the Deep South, where leaders are by instinct--or at least by political necessity--hostile to integration, evasion will be the rule for at least four or five years after any "final date" that the Supreme Court lays down for de-segregation. Professor Gordon Allport, who has studied the decline in prejudice that accompanies forced de-segregation in schools and factories, sees...
...conversation nor childhood recall. Although this style intrigued me to the point of distraction, I did gather that Buechler's story was an attempt to conjure up the spirit of the men who left their homes to join the Lincoln Brigade and fight Franco. I don't think the deep and unseeing idealism of these men quite comes through; Buechler's main character seems more like a burbling Scout Master than someone who could have fought side-by-side with Orwell in Catalonia...

The twelve humble Franciscans (later nicknamed "The Twelve Apostles") who followed the conquistadors' reign of terror were more successful missionaries. At the sight of the ragged friars padding doggedly through the mountains, the Indians sighed, "Motolinia, motolinia [Poor, poor fellows]." Generations of such brave, tough motolinias from Spain finally converted Mexico.* But on the Indians' simple faith, the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico grew...
Even Railroads. The railroads, deep in a slump a year ago, made a strong comeback. The first 35 railroads to report had combined earnings that were 77% ahead of last year's first quarter. The New York Central's Board Chairman Robert R. Young announced that in the first quarter, President Alfred Perlman turned in earnings of $11,813,010, compared with a deficit of $473,788 a year ago. Then Young announced a "regular" dividend of 50? a share, the same amount the road paid in January. Other less embattled railroads showed equally good profits. The Santa...
