By deed and by preachment, he has stirred in his people a Christian forbearance that nourishes hope and smothers injustice. Says Atlanta's Negro Minister Ralph D. Abernathy, whom King calls "my dearest friend and cellmate": "The people make Dr. King great. He articulates the longings, the hopes, the aspirations of his people in a most earnest and profound manner. He is a humble man, down to earth, honest.

...King and his group began putting their plans to work. Bull Connor, who had lost the election but refused to relinquish power, sent his spies into the Negro community to seek information.

Martin, and White House Aide Ralph Dungan. Confused, and with their flanks often turned by ex-officio Kennedy advisers, key State Department Latin America experts left in droves. It got so bad that, at the end, Kennedy had ordered a thorough re-evaluation of policy and policymaking. Johnson carried on the reevaluation, intensified it, and acted...
...last six months, Ralph Ginzburg, 34, publisher of Eros, a hardcover quarterly "devoted to the joys of love," has prudently held up distribution of Eros's fifth issue. Convicted on 28 charges of mailing obscenity (TIME, June 21), Ginzburg was waiting to hear what sentence the judge would hand down. Last week in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, Ginzburg heard some harsh words. Judge Ralph C.
