Trouble erupted first in Paterson, a city of 146,000 people (one-sixth of them Negroes), when a pack of carousing teen-agers in the slum Fourth Ward began pelting passing police cars with bottles and rocks. Soon hundreds of Negroes were racing through the streets, smashing windows and hurling debris at police. Almost simultaneously, 20 miles south of Paterson, hit-and-run bombers in Elizabeth, a city of 110,000 people (with 20,000 Negroes), pitched Molotov cocktails into three taverns. Before long, hundreds of Negroes were flinging bottles and bricks from rooftops and street corners...
...provided that the last one would be void if his mother outlived him. Naturally she did, and then led the charge of the litigant brigade. Though Mama is worth $65 million herself, she misses the $10,441,289.42 that she says he borrowed. Muttered his harried lawyer, Douglas Leo Paterson: "I'll bet he's up there now laughing at me. He said he'd make just as much trouble for me after he was gone as he did alive...
...Federal Communications Commission now proposes to license a new television station, Channel 37, in Paterson, N.J. This will be only the first of nineteen Channel 37s which the F.C.C. expects to spread across the nation so that they will not overlap. Unfortunately broadcasting networks on this channel will transmit radio waves on the frequencies between 608 and 614 megacycles per second. Radio astronomers find this portion of the spectrum very useful because it is roughly an octave below (half the frequency) of the 21-centimeter line of unionized hydrogen. If Channel 37 becomes nationwide, all astronomical work on that band...
...National Academy of Science, besides arguing the merits of astronomy's case against Channel 37, has had the foresight to ask the F.C.C. for a general study of radio astronomy and its frequency requirements. In response to these requests the government has temporarily limited he new channel to the Paterson station alone and forbidden transmission between midnight and 7 a.m. (These hours are chosen solely for the convenience of the television industry because radio antennas can operate effectively 24 hours a day.) In 1968, however, when the University of Illinois expects to complete its sky survey, the F.C.C. proposes...
smiling back of the garbage truck as the complex city passes to the confession or psychiatric couch or both He wrote of the poor and sick and dirty, and in Paterson, his masterpiece, he achieved a Whitmanesque vision of the American myth as he told of the city's dying, thirsty waterfalls and of trees stunted by concrete and grime. In Spring Storm, he saw nature's liberation of the cold earth as a hint of higher human values...
