...with deep emotion, spoke Virginia's Governor J. (for James) Lindsay Almond Jr. last week to a special session of the Virginia General Assembly in Richmond. His duty, as he saw it, was a sad one. Faced with U.S. and Virginia Supreme Court orders (TIME, Feb. 2) to integrate four Negroes into white public schools in Arlington County (pop. 277,400) and 17 in Norfolk (pop. 294,300), Almond had either to propose new forms of resistance, which would surely be judged unconstitutional, or to comply. Almond's decision, imposed by his lawyer's mind...
...skiers had trouble keeping out of one another's way. On Michigan's Boyne Mountain, colorfully garbed schussboomers cheerfully endured long waits to ride lifts up the glistening white mountainside. Restaurants on Colorado's Aspen Mountain were overrun with crowds. Thousands left their sitzmarks on the deep powder slopes of California's Sierras and Washington's Cascade range.

The group at first regretted that they had no Moslem, but then decided that it was just as well, since Moslems ' pray at sundown and the Deep Freeze sun sets only once a year. "Now it can truly be said," reads the inscription on the chapel wall, "that the earth turns on a point of faith...
This start toward peaceable integration in Virginia can only be praised. The attitude in Arlington County, across the Potomac from Washington, D.C., or in Norfolk cannot, though, be compared to that in Little Rock or places in the "deep south," for the state of Jefferson and Lee has always retained some aura of respect for law. But the sequence of last month's events in Virginia may encourage the southern moderates who wish to comply with the Supreme Court decision of 1954 and who want to keep their schools open rather than battle at Armageddon. Moderates in Atlanta and Charleston...
