...classic confrontation of blacks v. cops, vintage Watts and Newark. At its height, bands of angry blacks roamed the ghetto streets, smashing, burning and looting. Flames from some 50 fires cast an orange glow in the night sky, while the crackle of gunfire, the screams of police and fire sirens tore the air. During the night, six blacks died from gunshot wounds; all of them had been hit in the back. Scores more were injured, three critically, and hundreds were arrested. The first race riot of the '70s had come to Augusta...
...slightly strange look of the world inside American works sometimes runs close to the visionary. In one particularly beautiful picture by George Caleb Bingham, a canoe moves across the canvas on a glassy river. A yellow glow from the side lights the figures of a man who has stopped paddling for a moment and of his passengers, an Indian boy and a fox. All three sit motionless, staring at the viewer as though he were sitting on the bank. The uniform pale yellow-grey sky seems to stretch in all directions beyond the frame that cuts...
...MARCH entered Cambridge in the cerie half-light of late dusk. The streetlights gave some light, but the glow in the sky behind the buildings lent the situation an unreal air.

Advance scouts rushed ahead to survey police formations, then returned with exact reports on their number and armament: "There are 96 cops up there, with dogs...
Whenever the stargazers of ancient Babylon focused their attention on Mars, they regarded its reddish orange glow as an omen of bloodshed and disaster. Looking more objectively at the red planet through powerful telescopes, modern astronomers have attributed its odd color to deposits of iron-rich minerals like limonite. Now two former University of Massachusetts researchers have proposed a new explanation of the puzzling Martian hue. During a recent meeting at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, Physicists William T. Plummer and Robert K. Carson reported that parts of Mars may be covered by a strange kind...
Some Israeli officials conceded last week that perhaps they have been misjudging U.S. policy for months. The shift, after all, has not been that sudden. Because Mrs. Meir was warmly welcomed when she visited the U.S. three months ago, Israel's public, basking in the glow, paid little attention to the fact that she returned from Washington virtually emptyhanded, or to Ambassador Rabin's warnings that relations were deteriorating. The only major assistance that the U.S. has given Israel during the Nixon Administration-50 Phantom jets-was originally approved during the Johnson Administration. Nothing more has been forthcoming...
