Vandiver's actions should speak softer than his words. He can close Atlanta's schools for breaking the state segregation law, but Atlantans furnish 30% of the state's entire tax revenue, and they would scarcely relish paying to educate other Georgia children while their own are barred from school. If one Atlantan proved in federal court that he was being deprived of equal protection under the law, the U.S. could order the city's schools reopened-or all Georgia schools closed down. This might even move the state legislature to give Atlanta local option. Atlantans...
...miles, rented from A.T.&T. at $17.4 million a year) loosely holds together NBC's five wholly owned stations (by FCC ruling, no individual or corporation may own more than seven radio or TV outlets), plus 207 independently owned affiliates with which NBC has contracts to furnish a certain number of programs. The network's 165 cameras in 31 Manhattan and Hollywood studios, its 6,500 employees, its fluctuating horde of performers, directors and writers provide NBC's share of the U.S. televiewing audience with up to 140 hours of programing weekly.

"The 'Franco-American' sounds like spaghetti, and the 'students' sounds academic, but it's the best we could come up with"). On July 4, they set forth in two small Citroëns loaded with camping gear...
Professor Hanfmann's great enthusiasm for a renewed search for the treasures of Sardis was echoed by A. Henry Detweiler, Cornell professor of Architecture, who promised to furnish a contingent from Ithaca, and by the Bollingen Foundation of New York. The financial burden (the first two expeditions cost $60,000, the forthcoming campaign ought to come closer to $50,000) was shared by Harvard and Cornell with the Foundation giving $20,000 each year for three years if the two colleges raised equal or greater sums...
