...feel that TIME failed to articulate a fine sociological distinction between Jew and militant black that sheds light on the recent confrontation. The Jew may question the propriety of a law but recognizes its validity. Any discriminatory statute will find the Jew in the forefront of those attempting to change it. He will fight for the rights of all men, for in the refinement of democracy his rights will be better preserved. Yet, there is a firm recognition that should law itself be disrupted, his personal freedoms would be lost...
...piked to boont in your moche geekin' on a motel?" he said. "Motel's strung, kimmie, but pike in the nook an' whittle a slib by the jeffer. Got enough zeese for a gormin' tidric. You from Belk?"

Seven years ago, the young bachelor, then 31, spent $18,000 for a new fiber glass Seawind sailboat that is advertised by the Allied Boat Co. of Catskill, N.Y., as capable of "crossing an ocean if you will." After a year of preparation, Eddy decided he was ready to do just that. So he set sail in the wake of Joshua Slocum, the retired trading-ship captain who took off from Boston in a 37-ft. converted oyster boat back in 1895 and returned three years...
...made innocuous by incredible administrative delays in enforcement. The average delay is over four years between the issuance of a complaint and the beginning of an investigation until the decision to issue an order. By this time, the report points out, the advertising campaign or fraudulent practice in question has long since finished. Yet the F.T.C. often forestalls indefinitely the issuance of a complaint by secretly but interminably extending the "deadlines" for investigations...
