...holdout lore, a classic is another San Francisco case. The holdout owned a four-story building at Kearny and Geary streets. Developers assembled sites on either side of him, proposed to build an eight-story office building on the corner. The holdout held out too long, and the developers simply built their buildings around him. Outraged at losing a bundle, he built two concrete "spite walls" four stories up from the top of his own building, shutting off virtually all the window exposure of his two tall neighbors...
...hand on God," gave little thought to customer tastes. Now many customers want lighter beers like the "champagne of bottled beer" pioneered by Miller of Milwaukee, and brewmasters (who prefer heavier beer) are changing the proportion of malt, hops, rice and corn grits to provide it. One holdout is New York's F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Co. "We're willing to forsake all those people who drink a can of beer once every two weeks," says Market Development Manager Edmund E. Kelly. Schaefer still brews for the 20% who drink 75% of the suds and enjoy...
...these statistics are, it is also a fact that more progress has been achieved in the last two years than most observers thought possible. For one thing, Negro children have now been enrolled without trouble in some of the rural areas where white opposition was fiercest.

It's just that Princeton considers girls so terribly inconvenient. The university is committed to hold down enrollment to about the present level of 3,000. To let in girls would mean driving out boys-and already four well-qualified...
...bought as beaten. Arkansas' Orval Faubus is admitting that "there is quite a difference" between his old recalcitrant days of 1957 and the present. "Congress now has passed a law, and it is the law of the land." Thus one of his education department officials has warned possible holdout districts: "Those that go it alone are going to find themselves in court." And even in Mississippi, the president of the Greenville city school board has faced up to the fact that "the real choice is whether we are going to obey the law with federal aid or obey...
