Open House. Though an Israeli official dismissed Khrushchev's hint as "too hypothetical to consider," his government is officially dedicated to the proposition that it welcomes all Jews, and Israel is sentimentally committed in particular to Russia's Jews, since Ben-Gurion, Moshe Sharett and many other Israeli leaders were born in Russia.

...hundred miles to the northwest, little Ozark (pop. 1,757), where racial conflict was unknown, had integrated its high school without a hint of protest.

It was the eve of school integration in Little Rock. City police, who had checked carefully and found no hint of trouble, followed routine patrols through the quiet streets. Then, at 9 p.m.. Little Rock came awake with a shock: a National Guard unit, 150 strong, with MIS, carbines and billies, churned up to the darkened high school in trucks, halftracks and jeeps. They unloaded tear-gas bombs, fixed bayonets, sealed off all doors...
...policy was designed to offset the very real danger of runaway inflation and its disastrous consequences, is now starting to look around the next bend. Testifying before the Senate Finance Committee last week, Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr., who still emphasizes the perils of inflation, permitted himself a guarded hint that he thinks his policy may have succeeded.
