...hated them so much; we were so eager to answer their questions. And soon, our world was gone. Some of us became Marxists, and some of us became capitalists; we talked about our past, as I am talking now, as though it were the present. We gave ourselves up, and we are left with a feeling of being lost. Perhaps every class feels that way, perhaps every person feels that when when he is 22. That does not make it any less important to us; it is the first time we have felt that way, and it is impossible...
...least 25% nonwhite. "We're one blood," Billy told his crowds passionately. "If we have dark skin, it's because God made us that way. Let's accept it and be proud of it! Black is beautiful, white is beautiful, yellow is beautiful-when Christ is present." To those who came forward to accept Christ at Graham's call (between 800 and 1,000 each night), Billy's charge included a similar theme: "Go to a person of another race and make friends with him."

One picture shows a Negro in a white shirt and necktie adjusting a complex piece of laboratory equipment. The caption: "What's Franklin Weaver doing in our chemical plant if he's not there to sweep?" It would be difficult for a white agency...
Before long, many of those trips will not be necessary: the 93-year-old specialty chain plans to go East. Negotiations are under way to acquire Bonwit Teller's present site on Chicago's North Michigan Avenue, where a Magnin's is expected to open in late 1971. Others will follow on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, in New York City's shinier suburbs and in Palm Beach, Grosse Pointe, Atlanta and other places where $1,000 cloth coats and $500 dresses move fast. Magnin's planners expect to increase the current $100 million annual...
