Piggyback Voter. Allen's supporters had hoped to keep the Negro vote down by dissuading individual Negroes from turning out. The arguments were quiet but forceful. The strategy failed, however, to counter Evers' volunteer poll watchers, who were equipped with walkie-talkies and who checked off voters against a master list and then sought out laggards and strays. One ancient cripple was carried piggyback to vote. All except about 30 blacks cast their ballots...
Success has not brought Hawkins all the peace and quiet he might have expected. For one thing, several R. & B. stations have refused to play Oh Happy Day on their soul shows because they regard gospel as too sacred for dancing.

Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti believes that "the foremost contribution of intellectuals is dissent. To be opposed to the atomic bomb is not exactly negative thinking." It is also easy. The harder task is to be constructive about problems that are tougher because they...
...most of the right things: "artist parents," an education on scholarship at Rosemary Hall and Wellesley, a job as an editorial assistant to Diana Vreeland on Harper's Bazaar, even marriage to a good-looking Harvard grad. The marriage went nowhere for two years, then ended in a quiet divorce. "He was a nice guy," she says now. "We just had nothing in common. Nothing...
