...history, South Carolina Negroes voted freely last week in the Democratic primary; by evening of election day nearly 35,000 had cast their ballots. To old families in the mansions along Charleston's historic Battery, as to most South Carolinians across the state, this was sacrilege. But proud Charleston spent its bitterness on the cause, rather than the effect of this enormous social change. It charged it all up to cold-eyed, 68-year-old Federal Judge J. Waties Waring...
WPIX, having scored a clear news beat over all other television stations, was justly and vocally proud. WPIX had also scored a clear news beat over its owner-the tabloid New York Daily News, which did not hit the streets with pictures until 50 minutes later. About this in-the-family phase of its beat, WPIX was discreetly silent...
...recessive sex drive. On an expedition from New Zealand (one of the few spots, in the 22nd Century, that has escaped the atomic destruction of the Third World War), Dr. Poole discovers the remnants of a decayed civilization on the west coast of North America. In once proud and loud California there vegetates a sallow, stupefied tribe of helots whose technology is not much superior to that of the pre-Columbian Indians and whose morality is rather worse...

The sedate, 157-year-old Observer is only six years the junior of the hoary London Times,* and proud of its past. It missed the boat by giving the battle of Trafalgar a scant squib, but scooped the town on the outbreak of the Crimean War. In 1820 it broke the law by printing news of a trial before it was over. Fined ?500, the paper refused...
...gang's leader is a pale, frail, lethal youth (well played by Richard Widmark) who is very proud of his "scientific" methods. (Sample: he schemes to get the G-man knocked off, in the course of an apparent burglary, by the local police.) His business associates are so young and fearsome that among them Mr. Stevens, no pantywaist, seems as mild and conspicuous as a country uncle. He makes himself still more conspicuous by the recklessly amateurish ways he keeps in touch with fellow agents; they signal each other, for instance, with lights at fleabag windows. However, he stirs...
