Tempers and temperatures rose together. The heat, as much as ideology, triggered Chicago's race riots, a "wade-in" in Grenada, Miss., violence at New York City's Coney Island, and a prison eruption in Baltimore. Deaths, mostly of old people, were up 40% in New York, 50% in Atlanta and in St. Louis, where 146 fatalities were directly attributed to the weather. The St. Louis city morgue had to borrow stretchers when it received eight to ten times as many bodies as normal. "Deaths will hit several hundred before this is over," predicted Dr. W. W. Billings...

Cunard's basic trouble is competition in the air. From a peak of 1,000,000 passengers who traveled by sea across the Atlantic in 1957, the total dropped to 650,000 last year. In the same period, the number of passengers traveling by air across the Atlantic rose from 1,000,000 to 4,000,000 annually. Sir Basil is determined not to let Cunard founder.

...light of recent relaxations under Russia's new regime, not everyone will share Avtorkhanov's dark prospect. But whatever his conclusions, he is singularly qualified to examine the anatomy of Communist power. Avtorkhanov is a cured Communist, born 56 years ago in the Chechen region. He rose steadily through the party apparatus until a certain independence of thought -he opposed Stalin's plan to establish kolkhozes, or collective farms, in the non-Russian areas-nominated him for purging.
