...Madison Avenue. The moderates show equal-if more restrained-disdain for the radicals, believe that the slogan "Black power!" is meaningless in substance and pernicious in impact. If Stokely Carmichael, 25, who first popularized the cry, were not heading S.N.C.C., said N.A.A.C.P. Chief Roy Wilkins on TV's Meet the Press, he "ought to be on Madison Avenue. He is a public relations man par excellence, and he abounds in the provocative phrase." Rather than submit to the philosophy of black power, many moderates, both white and Negro, have left-or been forced from-CORE and S.N.C.C...
...house in Wauwatosa to protest his membership in the Fraternal Order of Eagles, a men's organization that, like such similar groups as the Elks, Moose and Odd Fellows, specifically excludes non-Caucasians (one prominent Eagle: David Lawrence, chairman of the President's Advisory Committee on Equal Opportunity in Housing).

The U.S., too, is guarding against any appearance of unduly influencing the outcome: all U.S. personnel...
...bitter Negro youth, in a psychodrama about his failure to get a job: "If you're Protestant and white, you're happy and free; if you're black, you stay back just like me. I get so sick and tired of this damned line about equal opportunity. If you've got a college education and all A's and you've traveled and you've had the home exposure Whitey has, then of course you have equal opportunity. But have I had that?" Replies the "father": "Ever stop to think you just weren...
Because auto men's ears are still stinging from the safety hearings, it will be the year in which safety gets equal billing with styling and performance. Dual brakes will be standard equipment on the '67s. So will "anchorages" -to which car owners can attach shoulder harnesses, which are supposed to be more effective than current seat belts (when the harnesses themselves will become standard is still uncertain). G.M., Chrysler and A.M.C. will introduce steering columns that collapse, accordion-fashion, under impact, thereby lessening the danger of chest and abdominal injuries to drivers. Ford has a somewhat similar...
