Natalie Wood has every reason to feel exhilarated: at 23, she is just about the raciest filly to come down the Hollywood sound track since Liz Taylor. Her new pictures, both slated for mid-October release, are Splendor in the Grass, a bitter harvest of frustration and failure written by William Inge and directed by Elia Kazan, and West Side Story, the widescreen, cinema version of the Broadway musical tragedy, in which Natalie enacts the poignant role of Maria with a carefully coached Puerto Rican accent and dubbed-in songs...
...since the Chinese New Year last February. It has been a harsh, cruel year, and another like it seems in prospect. Best estimates are that grain production this year will reach no more than 180 million tons, 40 million tons short of the target, and actually less than the harvest in 1957 when there were 60 to 70 million fewer mouths to feed...

Since World War II, most of the farms have been serviced by migrant workers, mostly Negroes from the Deep South, who drift from harvest to harvest during the long summer. Inevitably, many migrants have settled in Newburgh; since 1950 the number of Negro residents has risen 151%, even though the city's overall population has dropped 3%. Poor, ill-trained and badly educated, Newburgh's ex-migrants find it hard...
