Reporting last week on his inquiry into that sorry episode, Britain's Lord Chief Justice Lord Widgery blamed the Catholic civil rights demonstrators for creating a "highly dangerous situation" with their illegal march, and some of the troops for action that "bordered on the reckless."

The Persuaders' initiation rite requires the new member to beat up a white girl...

Such drastic measures are warranted, argues Committee Chairman Herman Talmadge of Georgia, to avoid a rash of chicken-farm bankruptcies.
