...token integration that the civil rights laws left was enough. Negroes were content to be able to vote, even if their vote was accepted reluctantly. They were willing, for a while, to ride the busses, even though hostile stares greeted them. Jobs given reluctantly were a little better than none at all. Half a share of American Life would not be satisfactory as a permanent solution, but perhaps it would do for several years...

These are the fresco paintings of Italy, some of the transcendent achievements of the Italian Renaissance. For centuries, art lovers have had to admire them by reputation and reproduction. To see them firsthand required a trip to Italy. Before oil painting was imported from Northern Europe and the artist's vision shrank to the size of canvases that could be moved from wall to wall, the greatest Gothic and Renaissance artists decorated...
