The group disbanded, but resurfaced almost immediately in a new organization, the United Citizens for Community Action, whose leader, Lumberman Robert Cunningham, is considered excessively racist even by local white supremacists...

United Front lawyers went before a federal district court seeking an injunction to strike down the ordinance, and scores of blacks gathered at Montroy's church for a march on police headquarters.

Africa" and a "90% wool" label on a blanket that was 89.9% wool. On the other hand, the commission does not even screen local TV and radio commercials or scan newspaper ads to detect the fraudulent practices-fictitious pricing, home-improvement gyps, "bait-and-switch"schemes-that the FTC's own studies indicate are widely practiced in ghetto areas. The main reason for this failing is that the commissioners have given their staff little...
