Pride and Persuasion. Yet sometimes this understatement became a form of intellectual pride. Persuasion was somehow beneath him. Talking to delegates uncertain about his position on Viet Nam, he would say: "I've written three books on my positions" or "I put out a position paper on that last week." Though he needed Negro support, he refused to make any special pleas, noting airily that "when the Negroes know my record, they'll come along." They never did. He yearned for the support of César Chávez, a Bobby Kennedy supporter and leader of California...
...sluggishness of the Selective Service bureaucracy. Local draft boards did not begin reclassifying deferred students until June. A month's delay is allowed for appeals. And, while physical exams usually take another month to process, all physicals were suspended in July and August on grounds of a paper work and funding squeeze. Some boards are also waiting until present deferments run out, most in September and October, to begin reclassifying students. Also, grad students fail to pass physical exams more often than younger draftees, partly, implies one draft official, because they can afford doctors skilled at detecting deferrable ailments...
...relatively small, fundamentalist groups that have also broken with mainstream Protestant churches on the issue of membership in the World Council. The biggest U.S. member is the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, which has 1,300 congregations and 180,000 worshipers.

After he retired in 1965, he shifted to teaching, and the ghetto schools of San Francisco, he found, were just too rough. Larosa's students broke into fistfights almost daily, hurled paper clips, and hit him on the head with chalk and textbooks. Soon he had a bleeding ulcer and, on his doctor's advice, quit teaching. Last month, in a landmark ruling affecting a teacher, a California Workmen's Compensation Appeals Board decided that Larosa had "sustained injury arising...
...gave his money away. He was lionized as a celebrity when most of his contemporaries had scarcely finished college. But he was also a frail and sickly young man, and he did have a presentiment that his life-span would be short. He labored desperately to get down on paper the stories and observations that pressed on his mind like ghosts demanding to be exorcised. "Here is a writer," said his great champion, William Dean Howells, in 1893, "who has sprung into life fully armed...
