ENCHANTMENT, but the bumper stickers inches away now plead SAVE THIS ENVIRONMENT-KEEP OUT or DON'T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO. The odds are good, of course, that the stickers were applied by people who recently immigrated themselves. As Brant Calkin, a Santa Fe Sierra Club official observes: "Everybody wants to be the last son of a bitch to move...

The main difference was that he did not plead for a halt to busing by presidential decree or legislation; instead, he sought the slower route of a constitutional amendment. Jackson's amendment is under consideration in the Congress and it includes "freedom of choice" and the "neighborhood school," proposals long espoused by anti-integrationists. He also called for federal...
