...Daddy Webb. Chicago has also escaped serious injury so far this summer, at least in part because three large youth gangs, the Garfield Cobras, the Blackstone Rangers and the Disciples, have decided to block violence. Catastrophe might easily have occurred last week when a white storekeeper killed a Negro on the South Side, but the Disciples kept the peace. In Venice, Calif., the newly formed Gangbusters persuaded police to leave a crowd of 500 angry Negro kids, then dispersed the gathering without incident. In Atlanta, a number of "crisis patrols" have been organized that also include ex-convicts. The patrols...
Unfolding a crumpled sheet of yellow legal paper, Lester Garfield Maddox reedily intoned: "My heart is full. I am humbled and honored by the decision of this august body." Thus, 63 days after narrowly losing (450,626 to 453,665) Georgia's gubernatorial election to Republican Congressman Howard ("Bo") Callaway, did onetime Restaurateur Maddox acknowledge the state legislature's decision to seat him anyway...

Italian-made Mannlicher-Carcano rifle with which Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated John F. Kennedy would not end up in a private collection or a public peep show...
...European extremists panicked as white colonialism began to break up in Africa and world pressure on the Europeans in Rhodesia mounted. Prime Minister Garfield Todd was thrown out of office for being too liberal, Sir Edgar Whitehead did not last much longer, Winston Field tried hard to pacify the extremists without success, and Ian Smith succeeded in calming them only with his declaration of independence. Now the small group of European extremists thinks that free from interference by Britain they can develop the country in the most "sensible" way for both Europeans and Africans. In their alarm they have jumped...
