...fireballing through the South reach at last into the state with the highest percentage (45%) of Negro population in the U.S. To win time, J. P. Coleman has set himself as the wedge between White Citizens' Councils and the N.A.A.C.P. "What we need." says Coleman, "is peace and quiet. What happened in Clinton, Tenn. will be like a boil on the side of Mount Everest compared to what could happen in Mississippi." Coleman's strategy-difficult to understand in the North, but bold for the Deep South-is to work for racial peace and quiet. Unlike many...

Last week, as he began his five-month tenure as the University of Virginia's first visiting "writer in residence," he proved from the start that in his own quiet, philosophic way, he would give his students plenty to talk about...
Idyl's End. There are quiet nights as the hunters sit silently with their rifles awaiting the antlered deer at a salt lick; they go spear fishing in the forest rivers, wake to brilliant mornings when billions of dewdrops shimmer like miniature suns, and huddle in the winter snugness of their clay-walled home with its roaring Russian stove. The climax of the year is the tiger hunt, when dogs and men go out to track down young cats and wrestle them into submission.
