Last week, in an event of historic contrast with the 1956 episode, Alabama fell too: enrolled at the Tuscaloosa campus of the University of Alabama were two Negroes, Vivian Malone and James Hood, both 20.

In a New York waterfront bar, a fierce-looking Caribbean type with abscessed fangs picks up an ice pick and tells Mickey to leave the premises. The poor hood doesn't know that Mickey has a rod in his pocket with a Navarone-sized barrel. Mickey takes out a single big s'ag and rolls it down the bar. "Eat it," he says. The thug eats...
...turns out 100 h.p. for each cylinder, and it can propel a racing car at 180 m.p.h. In 29 years of rattling its pistons in the Indy 500, the Offy has lost only three times; every car that finished the 1962 race had an Offenhauser under its hood...
