...streets any more, I'm awfully afraid that some of the people who responded will forget it." But the lull is deceptive, and it is probably best described by James Baldwin. Says he: "This lull is like a football huddle. People are reassessing. They are planning. We will flush the villain out." In fact, most Negro leaders are waiting for the outcome of the civil rights bill in Congress, and are counseling patience until at least the end of this month.

"Every animal," he snarls, "is entitled to kill in order to keep what belongs...
...British, having conscientiously freed most of their colonial subjects, now feel entitled to view with horror the spectacle of Birmingham police turning loose police dogs and fire hoses on protesting Negroes. But in the flush days of Queen Victoria's empire, the British conscience was not always so sensitive. In this lively book, Historian Bernard Semmel recounts the brutal re action of the British authorities when a handful of Jamaicans revolted...
