...surpass at least 97% of whites in education and income. What I resent is that when you publish a "Black and White Balance Sheet" [Jan. 24], you do not also explain that according to the 1960 census, a black man with four years of college can expect to earn less in a lifetime than a white who just finishes high school. What does this tell us about working hard, being clean, getting an education? Isn't this proof of how racist the system really...
...private citizen, Conservationist Udall may have far wider and more satisfying opportunities. Last week he announced the formation of the Overview Group, an international consulting firm that he will head. Overview is designed to deal with no less a problem than man's despoliation of the earth...
Picking up a phone, he checked with the commanders of Spain's seven military districts. All but one demanded that a state of emergency be declared-and the one exception, Barcelona's leader, said he would accept nothing less than a return to full military rule.

Despite the judge's plea for temperance, police cars taking the accused to and from the court needed extra protection against would-be lynchers and were covered with spittle. Newspapers received hundreds of suggestions for punishment no less demonic than poor Bernadette's exorcism. One writer suggested tying the couple to a telephone pole and "delivering them to the people's anger until their God delivered them." Another wanted to seal them into a barrel full of spikes and set it afire...
