Service Ears. Since no electioneering is permitted inside U.S. bases, both sides prowl around outside. In Italy, where there are an estimated 35,000 eligible voters, Goldwater subcommittees are in operation in Vicenza, Verona, Leghorn and Naples, near U.S. military sites. At British market towns outside U.S. bases, the Democrats have parked decorated carts equipped with loud speakers playing Hello, Lyndon, hoping to catch the ear of U.S. servicemen and their wives on shopping tours...
What happened to Cleo next was obscured by Cuba, where, for political reasons, U.S. weather-tracking planes may not prowl. Moreover, the peaks of Cuba's Sierra Maestra mountains blocked the view for the big new radar in Miami used to track hurricanes up to 300 miles away. Cuba's mountains did something else.

On one occasion when he was ten years old, he was playing in a playground near his house when a policeman drove up and jumped out of his prowl car brandishing a gun. "All of us little colored boys ran like chickens," King recalls. "I hid under a building but some of the kids were arrested for 'vagrancy' or 'loitering.' Right then I felt that there was something wrong with the way the law operated in the Negro community...
