...Richard A. Mack, 45, to be a member of the Federal Communications Commission, succeeding hardbitten, brass-voiced Frieda Hennock, 50. Lawyer Hennock, a breezy, New Dealing Democrat (but no darling of the party's congressional rank and file), was the first woman to serve on the FCC, was often a center of controversy in her seven years in office. Floridian Mack, a Democrat of calmer persuasion, is former chairman of the Florida Railroad and Public Utilities Commission, a current vice president of the National Association of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners, and an experienced practitioner before...

...liberal editor of the Greenville (Miss.) Delta Democrat-Times, Hodding Carter has elected to stand in the middle ground of the hottest journalistic issue (TIME, Jan. 17) in the South: desegregation of the public schools. But Editor Carter is finding the middle ground an even hotter place to stand than the extremes. Last week in an editorial, Carter blasted visiting Michigan Democratic Congressman Charles C. Diggs, who told an all-Negro audience that "the hour in Mississippi is two minutes to midnight" for complete desegregation of the schools. Wrote Carter: "This is precisely the kind of inflammatory approach to interracial...
