...upholding a lower court, which had refused the Jim Crow Texas Citizens Council an injunction to bar state funds from integrated schools, the Texas Supreme Court swept away the last legal obstacles to complete desegregation. It 1) declared invalid all sections of the state constitution and state statutes that required public-school segregation, and 2) knocked down that portion of the state's Gilmer-Aikin law that prohibited state funds to mixed schools.

...circus are crammed with theologasters, dawpluckers, makebates, hoodledashers and such archaic huncamunca. His grandson's version of baseball in the Abner Doubleday country may not be so uproarious as James Thurber's rowdy recollections of the game in Columbus, Ohio. But his saga of Hop Bitters ("The Invalid's Friend& Hope"-alcoholic content: 40%), which Patent Medicine Man Asa T. Soule of Rochester put over by promoting a baseball team and a hilariously crooked sculling championship, invites comparison with Thurber's immortal tribute to the life-preserving elixirs concocted by Aunt Margery Albright.
