Newly appointed Police Director Ross V. Randolph, whose salary of $25,000 is the city's highest, is making his presence felt. He is a former FBI agent, prison warden and state director of public safety. Randolph has announced plans to open storefront police offices in the hope of improving communications between the city's authorities and its deeply mistrustful blacks. One of the priorities facing his undermanned and undermanaged force of 92 officers is to halt an unexplained wave of snipings.

To critics who argue that the sincerity of such a personal code is too hard to ascertain, Wyzanski tartly replied, "Often it is harder to detect a fraudulent adherent to a religious creed than...
They came in dusty pickup trucks and rattling secondhand cars. Old women in velveteen skirts and turquoise bracelets filed nervously past young men in tight Levi's, sunglasses and cowboy boots. Trim coeds talked with old men in shabby clothes and tall black felt hats. Judged by any criterion-age, dress or deportment-the student body that recently turned up for the opening of the Navaho Community College at Many Farms, Ariz., was as varied as could be found on any campus...
