...Negro or white, will spend much of his life directly before the law; justice there is necessary but not sufficient for the individual human being who happens to be a Negro. It is in the tiny affairs of daily living that the individual needs to be treated as equal; as long as the average white Southerner feels set upon from without, he will take revenge on the Negro in those tiny affairs: the idle salesgirl who lets him stand unattended for five minutes; the white taxi driver who doesn't see him trying to flag a cab; the teacher...
...July 1 as planned, they will lose access to the U.S.-owned nuclear warheads in West Germany, which France now shares under the "two-key" system. The U.S. insisted not only that it will need at least two years to remove its troops but that NATO will need an equal time to move its military headquarters. After all, NATO has not yet even begun to decide on a new location.

In alternating moves, the weaker player (who uses smooth pieces of black slate) and the higher-rated player (who uses pieces of white clamshell) set down their stones. Once played, a stone remains in place-unless it is surrounded and thus captured, in which case...
...equal last year's 10-3 record, Harvard's golf team will have to win all the rest of its matches. And since today's contest is against Penn--a squad--which clobbered Harvard, 7-0, last year,--chances look a little weak...
