...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 who doesn't go out of his way to help a colored child; the service-station attendant who services everyone else's car before he gets around to the Negro's. The goal of reform should be fair treatment of everyone by everyone...
...Quang's conspiracy against Diem finally flowered in blood in the spring of 1963.

The new M.P.s are young (average age: 36), drawn mainly from the professions, and generally are pragmatists like Wilson. In fact, the moderate character of the new Labor M.P.s reduced the fears that a large majority would give the party's left wing strength to force Wilson into abandoning his support of the U.S. position in Viet...
...were busy with other things. Not only did a Chinese delegation gather huzzas in Pakistan, but Peking last week celebrated the 95th anniversary of the Paris Commune. The ceremony came replete with a 400-item exhibition including a Communard sword, a badge reading "Republique des Communes," and a Red Flag editorial that lambasted Russia for "embarking on the path of restoring capitalism...
