...police knew was that the murderer had appeared to be a young Puerto Rican. They had no other clues to the man who stabbed Arthur Collins in the New York subway last October and sprinted away. Even so, a reporter from Manhattan's Spanish-language newspaper El Diario soon picked up the suspect's trail. Following a telephone tip, Esli Gonzalez, 34, went from bar to bar in The Bronx. Finally he found the fugitive, but the man got away again. Next night, Gonzalez tracked the man down for the second time and persuaded him to give himself...
Once more, El Diario had made the news as well as reported it. It splashed the story on its front page-as did most of the New York press. El Diario lets very little news of the city's 730,000-member Puerto Rican community escape its attention; in turn, it is read loyally by the city's Puerto Ricans.

His neighbors refused to speak to him; people stood outside his store muttering "Cop lover" or "Nigger hater," and customers no longer came to him. "Even people I helped, even people I lent money to pay the rent," he said, "they let me down." Negrón had been forced to sell his store for $400, even though he bought it for $5,000. He was left almost penniless, and his wife...
...anxious to have Phillips, was represented by the Washington law firm of Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas, a close friend of Lyndon Johnson's. Phillips' attorney, moreover, was former Interior Secretary Oscar L. Chapman. Despite the furor, Johnson finally approved the quota change last month after Puerto Rican officials pointed out that, among 12 oil companies, only Phillips had agreed to their joint venture and reinvestment requirements...
