...Deep Misgivings. One reason for the party's good cheer was the recent news that Britain's balance of payments, for the first time in seven years, showed a $115 million surplus during the first half of this year. Since the effects of the 1967 devaluation of the pound are just starting to be felt in export orders, Britain probably has a good chance of extending its boomlet so long as world trade maintains its current brisk pace. Wilson, however, must still contend with deep national misgivings about his record and even deeper bitterness among trade unions, whose...
...bloody hours at Babi Yar, a deep ravine outside Kiev, Hitler's special commandos 28 years ago last week coldly machine-gunned 34,000 Jews. The massacre has become a symbol not only of Nazi persecution but also of the status of the Soviet Union's 3,000,000 Jews, who are discriminated against in most areas of Soviet life.

If the court agrees to hear the case, the result could be an early clash with the Nixon Administration, which took the unprecedented step of requesting the halt. Justice Hugo Black, who supervises the Deep South Fifth Circuit for the high court, has asked the Government to reply to the fund's petition by Oct. 8. Last week Assistant Attorney General Jerris Leonard asserted that a decision to compel desegregation throughout the South this year would be unenforceable. To such critics as the Justice...
...Denial eventually yields to deep anger: "Why me?" A 50-year-old dentist, dying of cancer, told the seminar: "An old man whom I have known ever since I was a little kid came down the street. He was 82 years old, and he is of no earthly use as far as we mortals can tell. And the thought hit me strongly, now why couldn't it have been old George instead...
