...rural county in eastern North Carolina, Negroes complained that it took a white man only a few minutes to. get registered, while Negroes often had to wait an hour; thus only a small percentage of Negroes was registered. In Green County, Ala. Negro registrants had to be accompanied and vouched for by "a good white man." In Caldwell Parish, La. the registrar refused to accept whites as witnesses for Negroes because they were of a different race...
...more remote regions of the South, the Negroes who make their registrations stick often face even tighter pressures of economic reprisals. Last year Negroes who registered in one county in the plantation area of Florida were told by whites lounging around the courthouse: "Go ahead -if you can take what comes afterwards."

Impressed with the fact that many patients do not gain weight early in their pregnancies, but may actually lose, he encourages them to eat all they want then, watches later to make sure that the gain does...
Insecurity Is Catching. Because Dr. Javert believes so strongly that the marital situation is often to blame, he calls in both husband and wife for detailed interviews. He finds that a wife who feels insecure about her husband's love or overshadowed by his having had a previously successful marriage with children, is likely to have an insecure fetus.
