Answering a Chamber of Commerce appeal for a reward fund, hundreds sent in donations in quarters, half dollars, bills and personal checks, totaling within a few days more than $20,000. The usually pro-segregationist Arkansas Democrat praised the outpouring, boasted: "That was the true Little Rock, rising out of a mist of half-lights and distortions emanating from our high school troubles to assert the principles that are the inheritance and pride of our people."

...sport, controversy, crusades, sensational features, tips to Africa's millions of pennywhistle gamblers, and inscrutable advice to the lovelorn (to a man who asked how he could retrieve the cash investment he had made in two potential wives, "Dolly," Drum's marital expert, coldly suggested: "Providence will reward you").

...subject of featherbedding, both management and labor need to realize their duty to themselves-and to the U.S.-to work together in eliminating a luxury that the U.S. cannot afford in a competitive world economy. Featherbedding pushes up prices, pinches productivity, penalizes the consumer and the productive worker to reward the drone. Worst of all, by discouraging the use of time-saving and production-boosting new machines, it retards U.S. economic growth.
