...strength. Some of the Negro's political leaders have said that what they want is something like the Irish Power that has been evident in Boston or the Jewish Power that has shown itself in New York City. By now, almost everyone in the U.S. knows that Gary, Ind., and Cleveland installed Negro mayors last month. Negro bloc voting was indispensable to both victories. But so was the small proportion of white votes that went to Cleveland's Carl Stokes and Gary's Richard Hatcher, and that surely would have been withheld if either man had taken...
Appointed 18 months ago, with Engine Manufacturer J. Irwin Miller of Columbus, Ind., as chairman, the 15-member commission included five physicians. Two of the best known: San Francisco's Dr. Dwight L. Wilbur, president-elect of the American Medical Association,* and the Mayo Clinic's Dr. James C.

In Boston, a coalition of white and Negro voters chose moderate Mayoral Candidate Kevin Hagan White over Louise Day Hicks, who had become a totem of opposition to school integration...
Muckraking Ache. When the non commercial station managers were in formed that PBL had prepared pocket documentaries on the campaigns of Louise Day Hicks in Boston and Negro Mayoralty Candidates Carl Stokes and Richard Hatcher in Cleveland and Gary, Ind., they began worrying about whether they would have to make room for opposing points of view. Similarly, PBL's plans for "anti-commercials" on smoking and the relatively high prices of name-brand aspirin were bound to excite complaints from offended business interests. The problem for PBL staffers who ache to do some muckraking is not how to avoid...
