...shattered. On a trip to Harlem to do an article for the New York Times magazine, he was given a copy of the Civil Rights photo-essay collection, The Movement. One picture particularly caught his attention: it showed the burned body of a Negro lynch-victim lying on a pile of embers while a crowd of grinning whites leered out of the darkness behind. "That picture upset me for weeks," said Nakasa. "I had never known such personal fear, not even in South Africa." Nakasa had planned to travel through the South reporting on Civil Rights activities, but he cancelled...

At last, face to face beside a clutter of wooden crates and human bodies, the two foes meet in what is clearly intended as a moment of supreme dramatic irony. But The Train...
Effects of the strike will linger for weeks. When the I.L.A. struck for 34 days two years ago, it took a month to clear up the log jam of freight in New York. This time, said port officials, the pile-up is so much bigger-dozens of ships, unable to find berth space, have been anchored in the harbor-that eight weeks may be required to clear it away...
