...Tampa riots this month, Community Relations Commission Director James Hammond cannily located five Negro gang leaders, all but one of them with police records, outfitted them with white helmets and arm bands, and persuaded them to preach calm and restraint in the streets (TIME, June 23). As the volunteer patrol grew to 150, the leaders were astonished at its popularity. "In my neighborhood," said one, "as many as five or six guys would share one helmet. They'd say, 'Hey, man, it's my turn to wear that...
...their part, the police and National Guardsmen kept their gunfire to a minimum (two Negroes were treated for minor gunshot wounds). The real heroes of Tampa were the members of the "City Youth Patrol," a hastily organized band of 150 young Negroes-many of whom had hurled rocks and fire bombs the night before-who tramped the slums in white hard hats and warned the mobs to cool it.

Understandably, he has few friends among his fellow jocks. Nor is it very surprising that in eleven years, he has been "set down," or suspended, for a total of 608 days...
...Douglas Campbell, the air ace of the First World War. The September following graduation he began to fly in France, and for a year and a half, in the 94th Aero Squadron's 1st Patrol Pursuit Group, he won an outstanding reputation, as well as the Croix de Guerre and admission to the Legion d'Honneur. After 12 years' retirement in Peru as a sugar planter and producer, Campbell worked in military and civilian aviation. Harvard, he writes in the 50-year Class Report, "is a place where men are expected to do things with their lives...
