Irrational Nodules. With walk-out and sit-in, march and riot, the no longer meek can be counted on to continue to demand their social and economic inheritance now. Negro parents of limited education demand a say in the running of ghetto schools.

Securities men, meanwhile, are hopeful that the brokers will eventually be able to obtain bank loans on the securities, even though the stock certificates that bankers ordinarily demand as collateral are held by the C.C.S. Instead of the stock itself, the banks would accept C.C.S.-issued "warehouse certificates."
