...sole survivor was the Sabre-jet pilot, Sergeant Yoshimi Ichikawa, 22. A trainee with only 21 hours' flying time on the F-86, he and his instructor, who was in a second jet, had been practicing formation turns. Neither Sabre jet had radar, and it was only at the last second that Ichikawa's instructor told him to climb and turn. Ichikawa recalled later: "I saw a civilian plane approach from the rear and felt a jolt in my tail." The young pilot was able to bail out safely. Both he and his instructor were being held...
...disaster underscores the problem of crowded skies. Near-collisions have risen to an estimated 200 per year in Japan and 600 in the U.S. Ichikawa's instructor, Captain Tamotsu Kuma, said that "with civilian jets flying upstairs all the time and civilian propeller planes downstairs," it was almost inevitable that military aircraft would continue to stumble into commercial air lanes...

...Gainesville High School, a girls' physical education class is predominantly black: the instructor explains that white girls are taking the required one year of physical education and no more. In the cafeteria, students save seats at their tables for friends; the blacks eat on one side, the whites on the other. A transfer of teachers to balance racially the faculties of the Atlanta public schools turned out defiant crowds of students and parents, and brought threats of mass teacher resignations. Black students were resentful when their schools were arbitrarily closed to keep the identity of white schools alive; they mounted...
