...howling gang broke into an Arab-owned liquor store and shattered practically every bottle on its well-stocked shelves. At the height of the rioting, an Israeli girl shouted: "This is what the Arabs deserve. Five bombs in one night is too much." Busloads of police finally drove the mob back into the Israeli sector, where they continued to demonstrate into the night...
Pressed Flesh. The most dangerous crush occurred at the national cathedral, Paul's first stop after the airport. Some of the faithful had waited all night in the Plaza de Bolivar fronting on the cathedral.

Teachers, parents and community groups in 45 different U.S. school districts attacked the book. In Oregon, irate citizens complained that the book overemphasized Negroes. A group called "Californians Against Land of the Free" cranked out a 25-minute film strip assailing it as part of the "Communist conspiracy...
