...gave those districts, and by implication the rest of the South, until next fall to integrate student bodies. Last week the Supreme Court knocked down the "next fall" provision and ordered full desegregation in twelve of those districts by Feb. 1.

...public personality that is built on this sense of style is Coward's one great creation, looming behind all his smaller ones and investing them with special effervescence.

The trickier task was to appropriate the realms of a man's mind and will, areas that men have guarded with far more fear and hostility than they have ever displayed about their clubs, offices and colleges...
