...riots in the city's rat-infested ghetto of Hough proved that Cleveland's Negro neighborhoods are as volatile as Watts or Harlem. Scared citizens have taken to muttering about "Communist influence." Yet the Negro community's real problem is as close as the house next door-which in much of Cleveland is as apt to be a hovel as a highrise...
...impromptu tenants' committees, which set up guard-duty rosters, or else imposed a levy of up to $10 a tenant to hire moonlighting cops as part-time guards. Garbage was another matter. One East Side matron, accustomed to having the trash picked up twice daily from her back door, shrilled: "But where do I take it?"

The screen whitens with the flash, then rumbles with the shock wave. The sound, intones an off-screen narrator, is "like an enormous door slamming in hell." Children with seared eyes grope for help, fires rage incessantly, food riots begin. The police execute looters-and then turn on the hopelessly ill, shooting them down like horses as they writhe outside the hospital that can no longer help them. At last, apathy envelops the populace...
