...Southwest, but he carries a camera like any man on his staff. Last week, in Little Rock from his Dallas base, scrappy Charlie McCarty, 42, caught a glimpse of a picture in the making: two white boys approaching a Negro boy and his sister as they walked past an all-white junior high school. McCarty wheeled in a U-turn, grabbed his Rolleiflex, sprinted up in time to hear the Negro boy say he would not get off the sidewalk. "I could see it building up in him," says McCarty.

...hard-hit auto industry, how many auto workers will be rehired depends partly on how well the 1959 models sell. Automakers are moving into volume production much more cautiously than in past years, employing far fewer workers. Ford says that it will roll into full production with 106,000 workers, down from last year's 140,000. While General Motors was mum on its payroll, the United Auto Workers estimated that G.M. will swing into full production of the '59s with 300,000 to 325,000 hourly rated workers v. an average of 392,000 in the last...

A big reason for the spurt is that most of the record $100 billion that U.S. industry invested in new plant and equipment in the past three years is coming into production. Steadily rising labor costs have forced industry into a major drive to produce more with fewer workers, placing new emphasis on automation and efficiency. Last week's wage boosts in Detroit (see State of Business) will accelerate the automakers' drive...
Still Buried. After the experiment in systematic derangement ends in scandal and squalor, Claude makes his way back to Cambon. He is weak and ill. In the writing of A Season in Hell, he chokes down his poetry and his past. His exit line: "No more words. I bury the dead in my belly...
