...white man who watched hymn-singing Negroes burst from a sweltering church and growled: "We ought to shoot every damned one of them." And there was the little Negro girl, splendid in a newly starched dress, who marched out of a church, looked toward a massed line of pistol-packing cops, and called to a laggard friend: "Hurry up, Lucille. If you stay behind, you won't get arrested with our group." Finally, outlined against the flames that shot 150 ft. in the air, there was the mass of Negroes barring with their bodies and with a rain...
...learned to ride at six, won his first race at 15. Purses in Panama were small and the horses were cheap. "Most of them looked like goats," Baeza recalls.

Meehan, near the front, tired quickly, but Ogden, who was in sixth place at the quarter, finished with an incredible sprint to place second in 1:51.1, an amazing four seconds under the sophomore's previous best...
...finally builds a better mouse trap (see MODERN LIVING) had better be ready to pack it in polyethylene, coat it with form-fitting plastic, ship it off in a fiber can, cram it into a tube or sell it in a tab-opening bottle. Otherwise, the world will no longer beat a path to his door. Attention-getting packaging is the U.S. businessman's new preoccupation. Last week in Chicago the American Management Association's 32nd annual packaging exposition drew 440 exhibitors and 35,000 visitors-triple the attendance of four years ago-to pay homage before piles...
