...four-month jail sentence for contempt of court. He continued to be active in civil libertarian causes, and was called an "enemy collaborator" by right-wing pamphleteers when he ran for his judgeship in 1966. All through his judicial career, though, he has enjoyed great popularity among Detroit's Negroes-and even among a few of the city's whites...
...Protestants are trying to retreat from the excesses of funeral-parlor escapism. The Southern California-Arizona Conference of the United Methodist Church has told ministers to urge burial from a church rather than a mortuary, to recommend a minimum of ceremony, and to expect no remuneration for presiding.

It is well known, of course, that the gasoline-powered car is the major polluter of U.S. air-a problem for which neither Washington nor Detroit has yet managed to find a solid solution. Short of reverting to the horse and buggy, the obvious answer is to develop a new propulsion system for automobiles that is as efficient as but less noxious than the internal-combustion engine. When the annual auto show opened in Manhattan last week, the Petersen Publishing Co. (Motor...
