...Fears. Alabama's Wallace actually ran strongest in Democratic districts heavily populated by lower-middle-class, second-generation Poles, Italians and Serbs. These voters obviously were apprehensive that the Negro drive for equality would harm their own economic interests. Thus, in southside Milwaukee, and in comparable districts in Racine and Kenosha, Wallace won majorities. In the newly created Ninth District, which includes Milwaukee's northshore suburbs, there was a different story with the same ending. The Ninth is generally Republican, boasts Wisconsin's highest per-capita income level. But the district is also rimmed by Negro neighborhoods...
Convinced that President Juan Bosch was veering too far left, Dominican Republic military leaders turned him out last September.

Said the opinion written by Judge Irving R. Kaufman: "Through depression and boom, war and peace, Tin Pan Alley has light-heartedly insisted that 'the whole world laughs' with a laugher, and that 'the best things in life are free.' " The suit against Mad is "an apparent departure from these delightful sentiments." Parodists, said Judge Kaufman, must be permitted to borrow from the original, or else...
...commands from seven to five, re-emphasizing the authority of Colonel Boumedienne, and announcing that the long overdue F.L.N. party congress will be held in April and will be open even to some of the regime's opponents and critics. And the meeting with De Gaulle did no harm since, once independence was achieved, le grand Charles became a hero to Algerians because of his role in helping them achieve...
