...nothing else, friend Glassen clearly won the Loudmouth of the Week Award. I might even burn my N.R.A membership card...
...chapters have excluded them by means devious or direct. Black doctors have turned to the 5,600-member National Medical Association, founded in 1895 and now 95% Negro. Another result has been bitterness among black doctors, who are refused the right to practice in full-facility hospitals that require membership in A.M.A.-affiliated county medical societies. Last week the A.M.A. finally faced up to the problem by calling for changes in the association bylaws that would subject any affiliate that denies membership on the grounds of "color, creed, race, religion or ethnic origin," to dismissal...

The Southern Presbyterians were formed at the outbreak of the Civil War; membership in the church is almost entirely white, and its pastorate is largely traditionalist in outlook. The Reformed Church-many of its oldest congregations are still known as Dutch Reformed-is strong in the East and Midwest, also has a predominantly white, middle-class membership. If the union is approved, the logical next step would be merger with the 3.3 million-member, liberal United Presbyterian Church...
