...white creatures spit bullets in Mr. Charlie's small Southern town. Baldwin's battle of the races pits Lyle Britten (Rip Torn), a poor-white grocery-store keeper, against Richard Henry (Al Freeman Jr.), an ex-dope addict recently returned from New York and the son of the local Negro pastor. Both men are deformed spirits, the white envenomed by poverty, the Negro by hatred of his father and his father's compromises with oppression. Arrogant, mocking, indefensible in his behavior, Henry humiliates Britten in front of Britten's wife. The white man demands an apology...

All would get a $30-$50 monthly living allowance and a separation payment of $50 for each month of satisfactory service.

An undercover agent made a buy of 102 gm. of heroin...
...panel show. But the 30 panelists were not participating for fun. They had recently been appointed federal trial judges and they came to Denver from as far away as the Virgin Islands to attend the first federal Sentencing Institute. As the new judges compared their decisions on the dope peddler and a dozen other selected cases, they were startled by the diversity of their sentences. Often enough, they got a second surprise when they learned the actual sentences that had been handed down in the cases they were studying.* "Prejudices & Hunches." Such disparities are a nationwide problem that...
