...doesn't see him trying to flag a cab; the teacher who doesn't go out of his way to help a colored child; the service-station attendant who services everyone else's car before he gets around to the Negro's. The goal of reform should be fair treatment of everyone by everyone else, not simple unprejudiced treatment by a color-blind law. And this goal of voluntary equal treatment is national. TIME oversimplifies; the South participates in efforts to reach this goal in it as a part of the whole, not as a separate...

...Chances. In the weeks of internecine squabbling, the allies had clearly lost their gathering momentum both on the military front and in the drive to bring social and economic reform to the villages.

The number of courses was raised from 40 to 200; the proportion of civilian teachers was pushed up to 51%. In the fall of 1963, it became apparent that under toughened standards flunkouts would almost triple. Academic Dean A. Bernard Drought, who came to Annapolis from Marquette, instituted what he thought would be a temporary flunk quota to keep the midshipmen afloat...
