...Parade, Protest, Sit-In." Southern Negro college students particularly are fed up with the slow, legalistic approach of the N.A.A.C.P. A segregation law is often declared invalid in the courtroom, after patient argument by the N.A.A.C.P., only to remain in force in practice. To fight segregation in their own way, young Negroes have organized themselves into a federation called the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee ("Snick'' for short). Snick is led by a Chicagoan, James Forman, 33. It provides the shock troops of the civil rights front, organizes sit-ins, holds demonstrations and boycotts anti-Negro stores...

The new regime tears down the poster and Lange's brother looks out onto the street for the first time...
...Great Hamburg Blight--a disease as crippling in its way as the Dutch one that knocks off elms--has long since withered the sickly local strain. Harvard Square burgers are invariably thin and grease-sodden, often gray and crumbling, and occasionally even square in shape; encased in that permanent invalid of the American baking industry, the bun, they are, even so, mechanically consumed in sickening quantities every day. They cost anywhere from 15 cents to 40 cents. And every single one of them is accompanied, like a whale with its pilot fish, by a small, awkward slice of cucumber pickle...
