WHEN Nelson A. Rockefeller steps down today as governor of New York, that state will lose as its leader the man responsible for one of the bloodiest incidents of U.S. domestic repression in this century. Rockefeller, whose Commission on Critical Choices for America is the latest step in his endless quest for the presidency, broke off negotiations two years ago between the state and the prisoners who had revolted to protest conditions at Attica State Prison.

Outside, the children are prepared with fresh flowers. They file up the road to the church, singing, four of them bearing the little coffin on a crude wooden frame. Inside, Don Efren plays a twangy banjo and Senora Gudelia and Senora Rosa sing an endless song in nasal harmony while two cousins perform a funereal ritual before the coffin. The other children play for their mothers' attention, or titter, or hold back their tears...
