...Earl McClaron, another speaker, called the Grenadian invasion incident "conflict of Egos." Traditional Caribbean governments, he said, have been subservient to the large powers, "never daring to claim an identity From a U.S. perspective, the Granadians have stepped out of line...
...storyteller Brother Blue, a great choice to play narrator John Gower, appeals well at first. Yet each time he comes on stage he affects the same position, demeanor, voice and gestures until his idiosyncrasies become grating and tiresome. Pericles, played by Ben Halley Jr. mimics a stiff operatic James Earl Jones, a stunning figure with fine diction, but his manner is too rigidly classical and neither dramatic nor human.

Yet the 1,000 words that Chief Justice Earl Warren read off to the crowded Supreme Court chamber one day last week released a powerful tide of law that will change the social face of the South before it has rolled to its farthest reach. A year ago the court decreed Negro segregation unconstitutional in public schools of the U.S. Now, after long consideration of pleas by Negro and Southern white lawyers, of advisory briefs from the Department...
