Fifteen Negroes were arrested in Slidell, La., when they sought service at a restaurant. At a variety-store lunch counter in Bessemer, Ala., a steel town near Birmingham, six Negro youths were beaten by whites wielding 24-in. baseball bats.

...course, they insured Olivia de Hav-illand's jaw and Durante's nose, but what Lloyd's of London likes to cover best is a pair of legs. First they took on Grable's gams, then insured Marlene Dietrich from toe to thigh. Now Angle Dickinson, 32, Captain Newman M.D.'s favorite nurse, has got a policy on her props. Her studio thinks they're worth $1,000,000, or about $15,000 per well-turned inch. Nice round figure...
