Indeed it may. Though none of the ex-Klansmen has nearly enough money to pay off, nor are they ever likely to, all may be burdened with heavy debt for the rest of their lives. Under Mississippi law, they can be forced to sell real and personal property, and 25% of their salaries can be garnisheed until the award is liquidated...

But what bothers him even more is the ethics of certain connections between the university and private industry or Government.

Literary Critic Alfred Kazin contributes a whimsical appreciation of the Upper West Side: "Nowhere else I have ever lived is there such excess of money to comfort, of comfort to taste, of taste to safety." Above all, the Tribune plans to be a paper of investigation. For the first issue, a team of reporters did some comparison shopping and concluded that Harlem residents pay up to six times as much for prescription medicine as people...
