...truck knocked down a sign pole, killing Dessie Mae Williams, 23, a Negro. It was a bad setting for such an accident. Only a month earlier, a militant civil rights group called ACT had led 60 marchers to the West Garfield firehouse to demand that the all-white company hire Negroes. After Dessie Williams' death last week, some 200 Negroes gathered around the firehouse, shouting, jeering and throwing rocks. They taunted the firemen by setting small piles of debris ablaze, hurled a Molotov cocktail onto the roof of a mobile classroom across the street. Heaving missiles and assaulting whites...

Unlikely as that seems in the foreseeable future, the company fears being caught with excess capacity, hence the cautious policy of chartering rather than buying planes...
...president of sprawling RCA, even though his contract for the $200,000-a-year job still had more than five years to run. Burns has never given a reason-and neither has RCA. In the succeeding months-and years-he got the customary offers from other companies anxious to hire a top-level manager, but turned them all down. "There are not," he said, "many jobs available on that level." Burns largely dropped out of sight; he became a private consultant to several companies, served as vice chairman for E. F. MacDonald Co.
