...home of wealthy planters, a gracious land of pillared mansions and fertile cotton fields. Today it is a gritty collection of cattle farms and dying towns living in a hand-me-down past. When the present intrudes in the form of civil rights demonstrations, its people are apt to react with savage intensity. It was in Lowndes County that Detroit...
...Bell isn't ringing for them and not expect them to believe it. You cannot tell people to disobey the law and not expect them to have a disrespect for the law.

It rechristened Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp. simply "Olin." At the invitation of Chrysler Corp., the designers dropped the dated "Forward Look" slogan, created the company's five-pronged Pentastar emblem, and spread Pentastars across Chrysler's signs and showrooms. Though these outward touches seem minor, many businessmen feel that they help to highlight a company's products and aims...
