...write, they rarely praise drill instructors, their traditional scourge. But the most significant fact about the letter is that it was composed by white men-all but two of them from Texas-in praise of their drill instructor, Staff Sergeant Joshua Ashley, a Negro. No presidential report could better document the dramatic gains in status and esteem that the Negro has made in the armed forces of the U.S. within the past few years...

Listerine at a religious convocation? Why not-since, under terms of an old and apparently inviolable legal document, Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical Co. must still make royalty payments on Listerine to the heirs, executors or assignees of its originator.
