...this assumption is false: there is a logic of segregation. It is logical for a local planning commission that expects no positive help from the Federal Housing Authority to bow and echo the discriminatory outlook of its community and state. It is logical for an individual to howl at Negroes attending his school when he would be ostracized for befriending them. It is the path of least resistance, and more; it is a rational alternative...

...sent back thousands of cloud-pattern pictures that are revolutionizing meteorology. The U.S.'s Courier I-B showed what can be done by a satellite packed with electronic equipment and acting as a relay station for forwarding floods of messages almost instantaneously around the curve of the earth.

Said he: "The A.H.A. had to get the facts out. A deal like this includes a great deal of commercial pressure. People in the meat, dairy, butter, and oils industries have billions at stake. They're very unhappy. The vegetable oil people are delighted. We couldn...
