...locked out three times as many schoolchildren (some 13,000) as the redoubtable Faubus, laid it on thick to a state P.T.A. meeting in Richmond: "I say to you in profound and pleading reverence that I fight to preserve the public school system." He got a whoop-and-holler ovation, but two days later, with the floor packed by late-arriving delegates from the state's more moderate north, a resolution to support massive resistance drew a 557-557 tie, and this was chalked up as a defeat.

He gets nowhere fast. The longshoremen, as usual, are afraid to talk. The victim himself refuses to "rat." The affable union boss (Walter...
...Limited series. Olds got the same extensive body change, plus an improved Hydra-Matic transmission and air-suspension ride. One surprising change: for those who complain about the horsepower race, Olds has reduced its standard V-8 from 277 h.p. to 265 h.p. But just in case all the holler dies down, Olds also has engines...
