Sims, 41, an Athens machinist, and Myers, 25, a yarn plucker at an Athens textile mill, were charged with the senseless shotgun slaying last July 11 of District of Columbia Educator Lemuel A. Penn, 49, who was driving home after a training stint as an Army Reserve lieutenant colonel at Fort Benning, Ga. A third defendant, Gas Station Attendant James S. Lackey, 28, had been granted a separate trial. All three are Ku Klux Klansmen...
...satisfied to win what is winnable rather than go down to defeat demanding all or nothing. "I am not a theologian," he has said. "I'm a politician." Where he was once vocally suspicious of any business much larger than the corner drugstore or the family feed mill, he now takes pains to assure big businessmen of his modified views. "For the most part," wrote Humphrey in his recently published book, The Cause Is Mankind, "big corporations are a source of strength and economic vitality.

...there are the continued mechanical breakdowns-automobiles, refrigerators, elevators and sugar-mill equipment. The main problem, of course, is the U.S. blockade, which has choked off the supply of new equipment and spare parts. But there is also Cuba's own bureaucracy and inefficiency. In factory after factory, production "norms" are blandly ignored. Unfortunately for Fidel, many have-nots simply care not. In Santiago we noticed some workers stacking cases of soda pop, and one man was methodically dropping every fifth case, shattering scores of bottles. As we walked toward the man, down went another case, and he gave...
