Mendelsohn made two attempts to register--the first in mid-May, the second in July--and on both occasions he was turned down. Cancelled rent checks and a signed letter from his landlord were both rejected as insufficient proof of residency, and Mendelsohn finally requested a hearing by the Election Commission on his case...
...about $225 a week), and have not yet carried out the strike threat. One reason is their understandable fear that the company may go under if they do. Donald A. Lewis, a former senior vice president at Foote, Cone & Belding Communications Inc., who took over as FAS president in mid-May, is trying to rescue the firm by selling off some of its subsidiaries, among them the Evelyn Wood franchised speed-reading centers.

...openly hostile and ill-equipped to handle dangerous situations between blacks and whites. Blacks in the South, for their part, are arriving at a level of political consciousness ominously parallel to that of Northern ghetto blacks a few years ago, when the era of the big riots began. In mid-May, six blacks died of gunshot wounds during a fiery night in Augusta, Ga., that brought back sickening memories of Watts and Newark. Atlanta, for the moment, is more concerned with the Peachtree Street community of hippies than it is with blacks...
