...court accepted without quarrel a Virginia court decision that every county in the state has the option to operate public schools or not. But, the U.S. court added, it was unmistakably clear that Prince Edward County had exercised its option solely to prevent white and Negro children from attending classes together. "Whatever nonracial grounds might support a State's allowing a county to abandon public schools, the object must be a constitutional one, and grounds of race and opposition to desegregation do not qualify as constitutional," wrote Black.

All Communist splits, big or small, are essentially the result of failures-failure to meet a goal, failure to measure up to reality. One failure behind the present Sino-Soviet quarrel is Russia's recent inability to make headway in the cold war; another is the glaring fact that more than four decades after the revolution, communism is nowhere able to match the capitalist standard of living. In this respect, the West can obviously take heart from the split...
