...school systems. This issue does not materially affect the technicalities of the curriculum, but does cause tremendous emotional difficulties. School standards for Negroes would undoubtedly rise of they would receive the same financial attention as white students in the same schools. The Supreme Court decision has already caused deep emotional conflicts. One elementary school teacher in Gwinnet Country, Georgia, was fired last year for refusing to denounce the court order in the classroom. The state legislature has debated a resolution that teachers must sign a loyalty oath that they never have belonged to or supported the National Association...

There is a deep desire for improvement in the South, though the rate of progress must seem unbelievably slow and very characteristically Southern to outsiders. But the roots are there; they merely have to grow. The South will not remain in a state of suspended stagnation, but must eventually rise to better standards...

He came by his competence honestly and bitterly as an infantry soldier in a fearfully mauled German division that bit deep into Russia, withdrew its remnants in broken retreat. Five wounds, Heinrich's personal quota, do not necessarily make a war novelist, but his first book, The Cross of Iron (TIME, April 23, 1956), proved that no contemporary novelist was better than he at the grisly business of describing the meat grinder of infantry combat. Crack of Doom, another...
