Parents in the black sections of town don't relish busing either, but for them the school bus has become a symbol of mobility, not upward mobility, but just some kind of mobility--a foot in the door to society.

Among the latest designs flowing from the sewing-machine lines in his Camden, Me. Tent Works...
...spiritually and intellectually; they no longer have any holy or scholarly desires; they have lost the ability to think clearly; and consequently America is losing its greatness. What is needed is a renaissance of men and women who want to think with the constructive thinkers of the past, who relish intellectual clarity and who want to practice the two concepts that have helped to make all great civilizations, contemplation and discipline. Thus, The John Birch Society seeks to recruit Americans who will not divorce spiritual ideals from the public life, but will weld them to the affairs of state, business...
