Unlikely Zealot. For the past two years, the Fox has been the scourge of those he considers polluters in Illinois' Kane County, west of Chicago. He has plugged offending sewers, capped spewing chimneys, left ripe skunks on the suburban doorsteps of company executives. At the scene of every caper, he leaves a note explaining that the particular victim is getting back a bit of his own for defiling the environment...
...unlikely zealot. Though he would not reveal his identity, he talked over the telephone last week with TIME Correspondent Sam Iker about his crusade. Apparently a quiet-spoken Kane County Republican, the Fox explained that he is an enthusiastic fisherman and hunter who remembers when Kane County was unspoiled. "I do a lot of walking," he said.

Kane toured Mississippi and Tennessee, where he attended the opening of an elementary school, a junior high and two high schools, in one of which all the students were black and 80% of the teachers were white. Meanwhile Range was roaming the rural roads of Georgia...
TIME'S Atlanta Bureau Chief Joseph Kane sees no sign of serious new tensions across the South as the school opening approaches. But he detects "an ocean of confusion that can breed sporadic violence" in districts where desegregation plans have not yet been detailed, parents do not know what schools their children will be attending, and there are last-minute plans involving long bus rides or predominantly black classrooms that could "radicalize"' whites. There is also a mood of increased militancy among young blacks, who are less likely than before to accept meekly any unfair treatment in their...
