Backward, Christian soldiers, roared a British Salvation Army colonel, go ye not to James Bond movies, for the "maimed, tortured people who go screaming through them" are a menace to charity drives and highway safety. Meanwhile, 007 himself, Cinemactor Sean Connery, 34, was raising funds for a newspaper charity by attending the London première of The Yellow RollsRoyce, sporting a beard grown on vacation and his wife, Cinemactress Diane Cilento, 31, who was sporting a white fur coat...

This whole line of reasoning was easily applied by the court in the case of the Heart of Atlanta Motel, which fronts on an interstate highway, welcomes white transients, advertises in national magazines, and gets 75% of its guests from outside Georgia. Ollie's Barbecue was a tougher problem, since it is eleven blocks from the nearest interstate highway, does not advertise, seeks no transients. Although it is in a Negro neighborhood and employs 24 Negroes, it serves Negroes only from a take-out counter. Yet Ollie's beef-some $70,000 worth last year-was purchased from...
