Demand for Exposure. In LIFE, Governor John Connally gives his side of the story of the events leading up to Dallas. Contradicting William Manchester's contention that the President had reluctantly gone to Texas to patch up a local factional quarrel within the Democratic Party, Connally insists that Kennedy went to mend his own political fortunes. He wanted to show conservative Texas Democrats that he did not have horns. Connally, just emerging from a bruising election campaign, was in no mood for a presidential visit...
When Frank Stella's first canvases, consisting of black pin-stripe squares inside of squares, were shown at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art in 1960, local papers reacted in horror. "Unspeakably boring!" snapped Herald Tribune Critic Emily Genauer. A less determined man might have gone into life insurance-but Stella painted on.

...facts were more outrageous than those surrounding last year's demonstrations in Grenada, Miss. There Clayton himself had previously ordered a speedup in the local schools' desegregation, but when Negro children attempted to enter the schools, they were savagely beaten. Judge Clayton bluntly ordered the police to protect the children henceforth and sentenced Strong-arm Constable Grady Carroll to four months for contempt of court. Said one of the lawyers in the courtroom: "You should have seen Carroll's face. The man was just astounded-a Mississippi judge doing this to a Mississippi law officer...
