...seriously. Unlike some Negro publications, it has not banned the word Negro, but uses it interchangeably with the more fashionable "black." A recent editorial tried good-humoredly to put the matter in perspective. It described an after-dinner speaker who began: "Mr. Chairman, distinguished platform guests and my fellow Afro-Americans, Negro, Black, Colored, Soul Brothers and Sisters ..." To some militants, including some members of the staff, Ebony is too smugly middleclass. To which Executive Editor Herbert Nipson replies: "Some people expect Ebony, because it is a Negro magazine, to print propaganda for every black program that comes along...
...never flamboyant, Miró has always been in danger of being dismissed as merely playful. Happily married, reluctant to engage in polemics, disliking grand gestures, he has never been one to charm and bedevil the public as have his fellow Spaniards Dali and Picasso. As one of the earliest and most abstract of all the surrealists, Miró was already a near-legendary figure among his fellow painters by the 1930s.

In a series of concrete, specific resolutions, the 700 delegates from 235 Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox churches at the Uppsala meeting called upon their fellow Christians to redirect their attention to the social, political and economic problems facing mankind...
...what the evidence. A new trial was then held, with a larger jury. If the new jury agreed with the judge, the original jurors could '"themselves be imprisoned and their wives and children thrust out of doors." That highhanded custom ended in 1670, when Edward Bushell and his fellow London jurors stubbornly refused to find Quakers William Penn and William Mead guilty of preaching to an unlawful assembly. The jurors were jailed, but at their subsequent trial they established the right to differ with the judge without incurring punishment...
