Only about 70 of Leake County's 2,100 Negro schoolchildren have elected to brave harassment and enroll in white schools under the "freedom of choice" plan that has been in effect since 1965. Most attend all-black schools. The schools and their physical facilities are no longer unequal to those used by white children. But the education is, since segregation denies black children the opportunity to mix with whites. "How can you bring a black child up separately and then put him out there to face the man and expect him to do well?" asks Ferr Smith...
...forces have found the terrorists elusive and difficult to stop. Brazil's answer to the new phenomenon has been to tighten the screws: last week the government decreed the death penalty for "revolutionary and subversive warfare." The trouble is that the guerrillas often welcome such responses, since their effect may be to create martyrs and focus attention on causes that might otherwise go unnoticed...
...optation is not in itself evil. But the SDS demands can be met, SDS is exerting pressure for concrete achievements. "Stop squeezing the life out of me" is unanswerable, and its effect ends when the excitement ends. This type of romanticism provides no plateaus where we can stop and rest. If it does not succeed entirely, it will have entirely failed; and the irate alumni will be right-we will have disrupted a great university to lengthen our spring vacation...

...point-he himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key "Wake Up the Grader" phrases- "It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand: "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable," on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, anti-academic languor at this stage may well match the grader's own mood: "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary Medievalists-at times indeed, approaching the ludicrous-that, smile as we may at its follies, or denounce...
