...surprised. It looked just like the real world. Montgomery and Birmingham could have been in any other state; and even the legendary Selma looked like any Midwest commercial town. There were no border guards to weed out Northerners who had come to meddle; thick-necked police didn't roam the strets with electric cattle prods; Negroes walked on the sidewalks and not in the gutters. There were more Wallace posters, of course, and the bookstands seemed notably short of books like Black Power. But if Alabama wasn't Cambridge or Haight-Ashbury, neither was it the South Africa...
Where are the guards? Typically, the report finds, each cell block has only one guard who, from his station, "can see into none of the open cells and only 30% of the total area of the dormitory." Since cell doors are often unlocked and prisoners are allowed to roam from one cell to another, the violence occurs in secluded rear cells, where the victim's cries are muted...
...channeled into the classroom. In the past year, eleven major U.S. corporations, including Time Inc., have anted up $30,000 to $50,000 as sponsors.

In turn, the corporation receives a shingle with its name in front of the school and the abstract benefit of a presence in the ghetto...
...Bobby pushes on to Dar-es-Salaam, on Africa's east coast. From there, Tanzanian game wardens will help him in his study of African wildlife-and Bobby will doubtless work with them in their efforts to conserve the herds of elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, wildebeest and antelope that roam the rugged Serengeti Plain 150 miles from the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Taking care of animals is nothing new to young Kennedy: at home in Hickory Hill he has tended over a crawling, fluttering menagerie of one iguana, one scaly teju, two hawks, two geese, six chickens, six golden pheasants...
...BEAST & THE LAND (NBC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). A study of life on the Seren-geti-Mara plains of East Africa, one of the greatest remaining game reserves, where more than 1,000,000 animals roam free. Two Smithsonian Institution ecologists, Dr. and Mrs. Lee Talbot, guide the cameras, which single out the bedraggled and ungainly looking wildebeest as the most important animal on the plains...
