...company's mistakes. Postage alone for the first round of 4.9 million certified letters asking owners to bring in their cars will cost $1.7 million. Much of all this might have been avoided had the company listened to Edward A. Gregory back in 1965.

"You nigger!" a black demonstrator shouted at Assistant Chief Inspector Lloyd Sealy, one of the city's top Negro cops. "You plotted this with those racist white pigs, you traitor!" After three protesters were arrested, the teachers got into the building, but none were given assignments...
