...Chancellor Charles Young, who irritated the board in May by recommending that her contract be renewed. Last week the regents had what they obviously hoped would be the last word. After arbitrarily taking the matter out of Young's hands, the regents voted 15 to 6 to oust Davis on the grounds that she failed to exercise "appropriate restraint" in her public speeches...

White homeowners rushed to buy guns, and young blacks walked about with long barbers' razors purposely allowed to protrude from their back pockets.

After that date the five Politburo members were conspicuously absent from several state occasions and began canceling travel plans. According to this argument, the announcement of the ousters, which must be formally approved by the Central Committee, is being delayed until after next week's mammoth Lenin centennial celebrations. Stories are already circulating in Moscow that a meeting of the committee for this...
