But gradualism implies more than the ability not to shout when shouting seems justified; it also, and more importantly, recognizes the endless variations in local conditions within the South, within one state, or even within one county. What may be the solution for Jackson, Mississippi, is probably not the answer for Jackson, Tennessee, or Jacksonville, Florida. And one action that may successfully and painlessly bring integration to white and Negro high school students in an urban community may very well instigate racial hatred and violence in a rural area.

Cincinnati's Dr. Douglas Goldman reports that it often produces turbulence after a few days, which may be mistaken by attendants for a worsening of the illness, but the turbulence is a passing phenomenon. Mississippi's Dr. Veronica Pennington finds that the most enduring tranquilization of state-hospital patients comes from reserpine; its effects persist as long as a month after the last dose has been administered. To cut down the cases of depression caused by reserpine, one manufacturer (Ciba) is combining it with...
