...local branches were scattered around the country, and the league, through Industrial Relations Laboratories in 300 defense plants, was able to place more than 150,000 Negroes in jobs never before open to them. "What the Urban League means to the Negro community," said Gunnar Myrdal in An American Dilemma, his classic 1944 study of U.S. race relations, "can best be understood by observing the dire need of its activity in cities where there is no local branch...
BEWARE OF EVIL, CHURCH TOLD. Despite its firmly conservative political views, the News never endorses a political candidate for local or national office. "We don't believe religion and politics mix," says Editor William Smart. George Romney, however, could present the paper with a dilemma.

To the north is rabid, leftist Syria, which last sent an assassination team out to kill him in May and blew up a Jordanian border post only a week before the war began...
...dilemma of electoral politics in 1968, however, has not yet stirred the interest of most Democratic doves at Harvard. It may be that the election poses too many problems for nonradicals to face at this time. But it is more likely that Vietnam has had the effect of diverting students from their former interests in conventional "get out the vote" politics. Many students, especially members of Students for a Democratic Society, feel that the events of the past year indicate that the two-party mechanism is incapable of dealing with the war. And aside from the fact that...
