Next day, nearly 400 police officers kept demonstrators away from South Boston High, where attendance dropped to 136 students, including 86 blacks. But a dozen blocks away, the black students were met by several dozen white mothers, who chanted, "Southie won't go!" and by some 200 stone-throwing white youths. A black student and a policeman received minor injuries. In response to the violence, Boston Civil Rights Leader Thomas Atkins urged black parents to keep their children home from the high school. The white parents vowed to keep up their boycott this week, and even talked of extending...
...such control devices as the 1 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. curfew, the operations of the five domestic intelligence services, or the periodic police sweeps through urban shantytowns in search of "subversives." The Congress remains closed (the building serves as a center where records of political detainees are kept), while political parties are still suspended. TIME Buenos Aires Bureau Chief Rudolph Rauch, who visited Chile last week, reports that even many who opposed Allende are fearful that complaining in public-about the high cost of living, for example-could have dire consequences.

A crowd of bikers, kept behind a chain-link fence, roared their approval, and moments later stomped on a U.P.I, reporter and ground out a cigarette butt on his forehead. Enraged by the surly Knievel's unavailability for interviews, reporters joked about "holding a pep rally for Snake Canyon," and one reporter, Larry McMullen...
...Administration's credibility. TerHorst learned of the pardon only late the day before it was made public, when an inner group of White House aides approached him about arrangements for Ford's announcement. It was not the first time in the past week that terHorst had been kept in the dark about an important presidential decision. White House aides misled him into telling reporters that General Alexander M. Haig Jr. would remain at the White House, and two days later Haig's possible appointment as supreme commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was announced. Misled again...
