The audience goes wild and demands an encore. From Santiago, Buenos Aires, Vienna and London come frantic...
...Soul House No. 1½," "We Shall Overcome," and "Girls Wanted, Experience Unnecessary." Children lined up for free inoculations against measles, whooping cough, diphtheria and lockjaw, and two vans for dentistry served kids and adults, many of whom had never before seen a dentist. Evenings, the entertainment was the finest in town-Jazz Trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, soul singers and freedom singers, ripsnorting revivalist sermons.
