...middle classes have fled to the suburbs, they have left the cities largely to the poor. "New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles have had a tremendous Negro migration from the rural South," says Kenneth Byerly, journalism professor at the University of North Carolina. "And a lot of these Negroes do not read newspapers. This isn't the only reason for the suburban dailies' growth, but it is a key factor." Once they are in the suburbs, former city dwellers develop a new set of interests in local schools, sewers, zoning and taxes. "What it all boils down...
...fight against our kind." Erwin eventually surrendered, but Grover led the cops on a chase around the U.S. for a year and a half before he was found hiding inside a window seat in his mother's mansion. Sentenced to five years, he soon escaped, and this time fled to Germany, where he stayed until 1939, when he finally returned to serve his prison term...
...Police Peugeot. The scandal turns about Mehdi ben Barka, a shadowy, diminutive Moroccan émigré who had fled his native land for nomadic exile around the Mediterranean six years ago. The founder of Morocco's leftist National Union of Popular Forces Party, he was twice sentenced to death in absentia for plotting to overthrow King Hassan II.

...hard to see why the 19th century trail breakers despised Bouguereau (Cézanne cried, "J'emmerde Bouguereau!"; Matisse fled his studio in anger). Though his brush stroke was immaculate, his subject matter tended toward soaring echelons of well-stuffed nymphs in the buff, ruddy satyrs in postures of half prayer, half lust. When religiosity overcame him, he produced limpid-eyed madonnas and tableaux of martyrs (preferably female) borne by Roman-nosed pallbearers (preferably male). In the heyday of the Second Empire, no one admitted being titillated by his tangles of tushies and concupiscent cupids; the critics professed...
...presence in the northeast of some 40,000 North Vietnamese refugees, who fled there after the 1954 partition of Viet Nam, also complicates the problem of counterinsurgency, for many of the young Vietnamese are susceptible to Communist recruitment. Last week Peking announced that Thailand's two Communist organizations-the Patriotic Front and the Thai Independence Movement-had merged under the leadership of the Patriotic Front. Both outfits together number no more than 1,000 members, but it is from just such hardened cadres that full-scale Viet Cong-style guerrilla armies develop...
