...other action last night, the Council decided to set up a long term committee to report on Harvard-Radcliffe relations and the effect of Radcliffe on the College. The move came after long debate and the vote required a tie-breaking ballot by the president...
Critical test came in Norfolk, where, in a race-sensitive worker district, Norview High School was under order to open its doors to its 1,234 whites and seven Negro newcomers. Overly cautious, foresighted school officials delayed too long the day's most obvious move: unlocking the front doors. Hundreds of white pupils milled restlessly outside when the Negroes arrived, smiled hopefully, walked forward. Plainclothes police moved closer. Reporters, TV cameramen clustered noisily.

...Assimilation. The Loi-cadre was in itself a revolutionary move in French colonial thinking. It meant the end of the concept of a French republic "one and indivisible" and of the tradition of cultural "assimilation."

Nationally, the textile industry pays the lowest wages of any basic industry...
Under the plan, a homeowner who wants to move or trade up can sell his house to a real estate broker or builder for an agreed price. The broker or builder can get an FHA-insured loan equal to this price if he puts an amount equal to 15% of the unpaid mortgage in escrow until a new buyer is found. If no buyer is found within 18 months, the 15% will be applied to reducing the mortgage. The plan thus frees the homeowner for a quick turnover of houses, frees the broker or builder of strain while he holds...
