Your Sept. 2 reference to September Morn ("about as innocuous as the, White Rock girl") was apt. That once chunky nude, the White Rock girl, peering into the drink, has evolved into a slim-hipped, lissome thing with a new hairdo and delicate, almost boyish proportions-an interesting example of an old-fashioned trademark evolving with public taste and changing times. Seldom does one see the White Rock girl in her innocent nudity. No, sir! She's enveloped in drapery, her bosom covered and a self-conscious smirk on her face. The bluenoses have obviously complained, and the company...
Arkansas was a question mark. There seemed little reason to expect trouble. But TIME'S Washington bureau reported disquieting rumors about the plans of Arkansas' Governor Orval Faubus. To Little Rock went Chicago Bureau Correspondent Jack Olsen, an old Arkansas hand (he reported the story of Arkansas' industrial development, TIME, March 11, and the cover story of Senator John McClellan, TIME, May 27). In a pet cliche of Governor Faubus, a stitch in time saved nine. Olsen was one of the first out-of-state newsmen to arrive in Little Rock, the only one present when...
There were the raucous curses of a fat Kentucky harridan and the horrid spit of a North Carolina fanatic.

Where men and women of good will and good sense prevailed, the difficult, tradition-shattering, inevitable change moved...
...where another kind of man held power that the worst trouble came. In Arkansas, a slightly sophisticated hillbilly named Orval Faubus took hapless note of his power as governor and forcibly kept the Negro children out of Little Rock's Central High School. There was no reasonable explanation for Governor Faubus' highhanded action, except that he hoped to make political capital for himself. But in the long run, he could not hope to win. He was face to face with the power of the U.S. Government, and that Government could not possibly ignore or withdraw in the face...
...shaded, peaceful residential district near Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., nine Negro children quietly laid out their best clothes for the next morning. It was the eve of school integration in Little Rock. City police, who had checked carefully and found no hint of trouble, followed routine patrols through the quiet streets. Then, at 9 p.m.. Little Rock came awake with a shock: a National Guard unit, 150 strong, with MIS, carbines and billies, churned up to the darkened high school in trucks, halftracks and jeeps. They unloaded tear-gas bombs, fixed bayonets, sealed off all doors...
