...President had expressed his doubts that the demonstrations would tell him anything new. What, in fact, was M-day's message to Richard Nixon? Many participants demanded immediate and total withdrawal from Viet Nam of all U.S. forces. Yet the Moratorium by no means constituted a call to the President for that solution?although it evidently gained new respectability and popularity (see story on page 20). What M-day did raise was an unmistakable sign to Richard Nixon that he must do more to end the war and do it faster. Unless the pace of progress quickens, he will have...

The West has offered both idealism and example, but the idealism has often been unconvincing and the example non-idiomatic. However...
...case of black v. white that many outsiders assume. Wayne County Sheriff Roman S. Gribbs, 43, is a moderate who has thoroughly integrated his department, appointed a top Negro deputy, eliminated brutality in a sorry county jail, and avoided simplistic solutions to crime problems. His opponent, County Auditor Richard H. Austin, 56, is the first Negro to make a serious bid for the Detroit mayoralty.
