...Black men," cried the speaker, must unite to overthrow their white "oppressors," becoming "like panthers-smiling, cunning, scientific, striking by night and sparing no one!" Max Stanford, a youthful member of New York's new, still minuscule Black Panther Party, an offshoot of the Student Nonviolent Co ordinating Committee, was outlining his own wild strategy for black power before a Harlem audience last week, but his words carried an unintended irony.

Extra telephone lines and fast-transmission Telex machines were jammed into ranger headquarters at Panther Junction to handle press copy, and a car stood ready to rush outgoing material to the airstrip 120 miles away. For Lady Bird's five-hour raft journey through the wild gorges of the Rio Grande, rangers had floated box lunches, soft drinks and coffee, and portable toilets to the sand bar where the party was to stop for lunch...
