...opposed tableaux - riot ing and registering - were interwoven. Denied for nearly a century the en franchisement that was vouchsafed them by the 15th Amendment, deprived as well of all the benefits that flow from political power, the Deep South's Ne groes have for decades sought a better life elsewhere: in the slums of Harlem, Detroit, Chicago, Washington, D.C. -and Los Angeles. Now there was at least a hope of change and perhaps a reason to stay. With Dispatch.

Decided Moseley: "This is the place for an enormous Philharmonic party." A fine idea, orchestra officials agreed, music for the masses and all that. But will the people come?

They can pluck a plane from the sky at an altitude of 80,000 ft. and fully 35 miles away, riding a radar beam en route and destroying the aircraft with a proximity-fused high explosive or even a nuclear blast. Even after the rockets are mounted, U.S. pilots could take them out by sneaking in beneath the line-of-sight alert radars and slamming the concrete revetments that house the missiles with their own standoff...
