With all the venom of a Southern mob barring a school door to a Negro child, a handful of Northern demon strators sought last week to deny the Dartmouth College auditorium floor to George Wallace. "Wallace is a racist, Wallace is a racist!" chanted Negro undergraduates as the Alabamian tried to address the student body. Then, led by a white instructor from Colby Junior College in New London, N.H., who yelled "Get out of here! Get out of here!", the students charged the stage...
...phone rang again. This time it was George Rallis, the Minister of Public Order, who had got reports of disorders,, "Mobilize the troops in northern Greece," the King told Rallis. "Have them move down to Athens." Moments later, the King learned that his Premier, Panayotis Kanellopoulos, had been deposed and arrested. Guards then reported that three tanks had taken up positions by the gate of Tatoi Palace. Desperate for information, the King called nearby Tatoi military airbase. The duty officer reported that Tatoi had been seized. "Who signed the orders?" asked the King. "General Pattakos," replied the officer. The King...

Because it had few slaves in 1861, Winston refused to secede in the Civil War (Johnson's forebears fought on both sides) and stayed neutral as "the Free State of Winston." It remains independently Republican. At one point, Johnson's father was the only Republican in the Alabama legislature-a situation that...
...peered up from under bushy brows; a hush fell. The room was jammed with veniremen: Negroes as well as whites, women as well as men-a Johnson jury. Only one Negro survived defense challenges-an elderly Negro brickmason who later voted for conviction-but that might have happened in northern Maine. At one point, a defense lawyer mocked a Negro witness in the patronizing accents of Catfish Row. Objection by the prosecution. "Sustained," snapped Johnson. "Such remarks have no bearing on this case." At another point, a Government lawyer thudded to the floor in a dead faint. Pandemonium. Unfazed, Johnson...
