...students. Because of residential patterns, however, white students tend to congregate in a few good New York public schools which send large groups of students to college. Negroes and Puerto Ricans, on the other hand, crowd the "difficult schools," where a lack of experienced teachers and a downgraded curriculum destroy any opportunities they might otherwise have...
...What have we in the South done to justify these punitive measures?" Byrd asked a Richmond audience last week. "This is being forced upon us to humiliate the Southern people and perhaps destroy us.

Thanks to those bases and to a superior nuclear arsenal, the U.S. has always before been in a position to inflict what NATO's General Lauris Norstad once called "absolute" destruction on Russia.

He awarded only nominal damages of 18? each to 37 trucking companies, but said he would award additional damages plus attorneys' fees and court costs to the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association. He invited the truckers to draw up an injunction for the court to issue to curb the rails' anti-truck campaign.
