Against these hopeful and largely middle-class aspirations for the law lies the glowering distrust of almost all Negroes of the poor and angry lower levels. Everyone should have known, says CORE Chairman Floyd B. McKissick, that Congress could not "by one or two measly acts relieve 200 years of injustice." A Southern Negro woman who moved to Los Angeles' Watts district scoffs: "I always been votin' since I got here. But what has it got me?" Civil Rights Leader Bayard Rustin interprets the Watts riots as signifying "a society where a Negro can show...
...Watts. There they were trapped among their own kind, smothered in their own ignorance of a new way of life, drowned in their frustration. "What they know about sheriffs and police is Bull Conner and Jim Clark," says Los Angeles Municipal Judge Loren Miller, a Negro. "The people distrust the police and the police distrust the people.

Contemptuous of Soviet policies, obdurate in its distrust of anything resembling capitalist methods, insistent on violence, China is irreversibly committed to the notion of central direction for the whole Communist movement-as long as Peking can do the directing...
Johan Johan was fast-moving and amusing, largely through the efforts of Niocholas Deutsch. As the cuckolded, henpecked fool, Deutsch appeals to the audience for support; taking then into his confidence; sharing with them his mingled dislike, distrust, and fear of his wife. From intense anger he passes quickly to childlike puzzlement, and both moods are refreshingly convincing. The program notes explain that this play of Heywood's was written in 1533 as "pure entertainment." As such, it succeeds quite well; light and artfully done, it is a delightful bit of nonsense. Someone who wants to get annoyed or insulted...
