...Central high schools, Little Rock's dwindling band of diehard segregationists has seethed with frustration. Last week, in a senseless outburst of spite, a handful of maniacs shattered the calm of Labor Day night with a spree of bomb throwing-and again ran smack into hard-hitting Gene Smith, backed by rock-hard Little Rock public opinion...
Within minutes of the first blast, grim-faced Gene Smith was in action, ordering all available police to duty, posting guards at homes of city officials and school board members, enlisting the aid of the Little Rock FBI office in a sleepless, round-the-clock hunt for the dynamiters. In three days he had rounded up five suspects: Building Supply Dealer E. A. Lauderdale Sr., 48, twice-defeated candidate for the City Manager Board and a leader of the segregationist Capital Citizens Council; Truck Driver J. D.

Your description of the courageous police chief of Little Rock, one Gene Smith, who was instrumental in preventing the public expression of resentment against the institution of integration in schools there, was very impressive.

...classic pug, a jug-eared middleweight with a flat, stolid face, the thick torso and bulging shoulders of a heavyweight. Even so, Utah's Gene Fullmer, 28, was no better than an 8-5 underdog for last week's National Boxing Association middleweight championship fight* in San Francisco. For Fullmer's opponent was the toughest man in the business at the bloody art of toe-to-toe brawling; in 74 fights New York State's hatchet-faced, knobby-kneed Carmen Basilio, 32, had never once been knocked out. Only Basilio seemed to have...
There was none of the improvised Dixieland so familiar to festivals; nor were there many personal appearances by such great solo showmen as "Satchmo" Armstrong or Gene Krupa. Instead, classics-minded young jazzmen concentrated on the brassy new progressive jazz and the slightly atonal West Coast styles, and played their well-rehearsed arrangements with the cool elegance of conservatory students. Even Stan Kenton's 18-piece (including bongo drums) orchestra had its own smooth brand of progressive beat. But the real stars of the festival were the small, intimate combos that played jazz with a new maturity and subtlety...
