Scrambling from Korat, Takhli and Ubon bases in Thailand, 56 Air Force F-105 Thunderchiefs and F-4C Phan toms headed for a mid-air refueling rendezvous with their KC-135 tankers, then zeroed in on the giant steelworks.

As with the Courier's other seven reporters (all of them in their late teens to mid-twenties), her job is to look in on events that no other newspaper in Alabama would deign to cover -- demonstrations by civil rights organizations, plans of anti-poverty agencies, racial killings, piecemeal gains in integration, and the oddities of Alabama life that are galling to Negroes but to which whites are generally oblivious...
