Capitalizing on the low-income white voter's alarm at Negro unrest, Wallace won 30% of the vote in the 1964 Indiana presidential primary, 34% in Wisconsin, an amazing 43% in Maryland. Given a few major ghetto riots this summer, some rabble-rousing black-power speeches by Stokely Carmichael and a few more statements from Martin Luther King comparing the U.S. role in Viet Nam to Hitler's in Europe, Wallace might even improve on that performance. But he has failed to win the expected backing of Georgia's Governor Lester Maddox. Moreover, Wallace's favorite...
...Detroit secretary: "Sex is especially important when you first get married, and it was so much easier not to have to worry about having a baby that first year." An Indiana teacher, 23, concurs: "When I got married I was still in college, and I wanted to be certain that I finished.

...absence of any federal legislation, the states have had to move on their own. Only eight of the 23 states in which strip miners operate have statutes requiring miners to reclaim their land; but the eight-Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia-produce 80% of all strip-mined coal. And as the realization spreads of how badly strip mining destroys nature, the laws are getting tighter. Pennsylvania, for example, amended its existing law in 1963 to require that miners put everything back into the hole except the coal; Kentucky passed a similar measure last year...
