SEPTEMBER 1967 fell between two summers of racial tension and violence in America's inner cities. Increasing pride and rising expectations among blacks were chafing against the reality of living conditions in ghettos like Watts and Harlem. In 1967 there were riots in Detroit. In 1968 the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. marked an end to restraint, and the hell that broke loose that summer in Watts and the poor sections of other American cities made a lasting impression on the millions of Americans who watched the trashing on the six o'clock news. The tension released that summer...
...September 1967, a quieter, more insidious backlash, documented in Samuel Chavkin's recently-released book, The Mind Stealers. That month, in the Journal of the American Medical Association, three Harvard Medical School professors argued that too much attention was being given to easily defined reasons for violence in the inner cities--reasons like poverty and prejudice. The physicians argued that someone should investigate, too, the likely possibility that the rioters themselves were somehow defective, that there were defects in their mental wiring. Dr. Vernon H. Mark, now associate professor of Surgery, Dr. Frank R. Ervin, and Dr. William H. Sweet...
...Rebelle" depicts an abstract concept--rebellion. One black arm reaches high over the head of a figure not recognizably human. The other arm seems atrophied, dwarf-size.

A person with a tiny head and huge, bloated body curls around in an endless, crazy, frightened somersault--a Freudian might see it as a picture of someone...
...tires have rigid, steel-reinforced belts circling the tire under the tread. The problems are apparently the result of heat buildup within the tire that causes the tread to separate from the steel-belted inner layer and produces blowouts. Firestone, which sold about 23 million of its 500-model radials between 1972 and 1976, recalled 410,000 of them on four occasions because of manufacturing defects...
...Inner Six also decreed and arranged the peaceful succession that took place after Faisal was assassinated by a mentally deranged young member of his family, Prince Faisal bin Musaed, in 1975. Before the King's death, there had been talk that he should be succeeded by the able, energetic Fahd, even though Khalid was Crown Prince. In addition to his proven skills, Fahd was one of the "Sudairi Seven"-seven brothers born to Abdul Aziz by one of his favorite wives. (Among the other powerful Sudairis: Prince Sultan, the present Minister of Defense; Prince Salman, the governor of Riyadh...
