Along Chicago's volatile Northwest Side, boredom pangs were as palpable as the prickling humidity. On Division Street, main stem of the barrio that holds the majority of Chicago's Puerto Rican population, people drooped languidly from tenement windows and crowded the front stoops, ducking for cover during thundershowers that drenched the area off and on all day. In any other minority neighborhood, the cop on the beat might have been nervous, for the day (it was Sunday), the mood and the weather afforded the classic setting for a racial explosion.

The warning went unheeded. Last week a group of students in Lublin grabbed the portrait after a cathedral ceremony...
...Sheppard trial's "carnival atmosphere" by sharply limiting the number of newsmen who crammed the courthouse and even freely handled trial exhibits. Most important, said Clark, Blythin "might well have proscribed extrajudicial statements by any lawyer, party, witness or court official"-thus cutting off prejudicial publicity at its main source and forcing newsmen to report the trial only "as it unfolded in the courtroom...
