...CHICAGO. "Highball, Gerty, all aboard," comes the word over the cab loudspeaker. Engineer eases the throttle open, and his huge diesel units, totaling more 10,000 h.p., growl into action. They are pulling nine cars, mostly mail loaded in truck trailers carried on 85-ft. flatcars. From the cab track seems too frail and narrow to support 1,500 tons of locomotive and load. After the train leaves the Corwith yards, the speedometer needle creeps up slowly through the flat, industrial along the Des Plaines River. Finally are thundering along at 79 m.p.h., the top speed allowed this train. There...

Today's young travelers load up with sleeping bags, shelter halves and Swiss army knives. U.S. knapsack sales so far this year are way up. A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR THE TOURIST TRADE IN THE CARIBBEAN, HAWAII AND THE U.S. SOUTH. Some resorts in those areas have already been hurting for more than a year, partly because...
...cultures, be so dependent on the white man's academic jargon and propaganda techniques? Their dead weight has a consistently bad effect on the otherwise vital and aggressive street style of many of the essays and manifestoes contained in Raise Race, etc. Sometimes he attempts to lighten the load by adding asides-"if you can dig that," after phrases like "we hate as of a legitimate empirical reaction." The result is an embarrassing self-consciousness. Yet self-consciousness is what at this stage Jones' Black Power mission is really all about. "We are self-conscious now," he writes...
