STRIDING ACROSS the auditorium stage at Babson Institute several weeks ago, Julian Bond appeared almost embarrassed by the standing ovation of almost two thousand people who had flocked to hear him. "It's him...I don't believe it, it's really him," exclaimed an ecstatic co-ed in the front row, a tweedy, horn-rimmed middle-aged man atoned to his wife, "God, he looks worn." The introductory applause kept Bond on his feet for almost five minutes. The air was hot and tense with excitement as people recovered the seats that many of them had come two hours...
...since the 1929 Series, when Philadelphia scored 10 runs against the Chicago Cubs, has a team had such an inning. Only Julian Javier's single, with two out and two on in the ninth, saved the Cards from the most lopsided shutout in Series history...
...Mysteries and Smaller Pieces mysteriously proves, the Living Theater is a shock-troop army of the avant-garde dedicated to overthrowing the Establishment and conventional drama.

...notoriety has made it the target of many more civil rights projects than have ever come to Alabama. It's possible to make a good case for Southwest Georgia as the most segregated area in the country, but Georgia also contains semi-progressive Atlanta and black legislators like Julian Bond. South Carolina has Storm Thurmond, Louisiana has Leander Perez, and Arkansas and Tennessee have their residual rednecks.
