...Hall and 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...
Argentina grew out of experiences deceptively similar to those that made the U.S. strong-a frontier tradition of hard-riding gaucho and hard-working settler, a Buenos Aires melting pot that produced a prosperous middle class, a good public school system based on the ideas of egalitarian U.S. Educator Horace Mann.

Brokers all gave the same reasons for the market's weakness: tight money, the steel strike and Premier Khrushchev's visit. Many of them also agreed on what the market will do next. Said Carl M. Loeb, Rhoades Partner Samuel L. Stedman: "I expect a good strong rally before the end of the year, because there is money piling...
