There are now five cases before the Supreme Court on which the court may finally decide whether separate but equal schools for Negroes are constitutional. If the court says they are not, thus ending segregation, the South will face one of the greatest social readjustments since Reconstruction.

When he had collected thousands of specimens in southern Indiana and recorded 28 microscopic measurements of each in a growing pile of statistics, Kinsey had to go farther and farther afield. Eventually he logged 80,000 miles of travel (much of it with Mrs. Kinsey and the children along as helpers) and 3,500,000 gall wasps...
