...TIME'S roundup on "Cities" dealing with the report by the President's Commission on Civil Disorders [March missed one important point: We should not condemn all of white America for riots in the cities. As I have said: ' I do not think it is fair to accuse all whites of racism with one big broad stroke. I think any fair-minded person would admit very readily that there has been discrimination in our country and that it reached the point where the Negroes were very angry-even Negroes who were well off were angry.

...rest of the evening included a static sports roundup (a ten-minute speech by an athletic functionary, scenes of a factory woman doing calisthenics), a performance of Chekhov's Platonov's Loves, Thirty Minutes with the Hungarian Railway Philharmonic, and a half-hour newscast, with headlines read by a tight-lipped blonde.

However ambitious, the program by no means represents Irvine's last roundup. Confining development to 40,000 acres along the coast, the company will keep its rich central plains under cultivation, preserve its inland mountain acreage as a wilderness recreation area. And while some companies have been allowed to buy plant sites outright (at prices as high as $32,000 an acre), the bulk of the developed property wilt be leased rather than sold-which guarantees Irvine a handsome income, plus the chance to sell out later at still higher prices...
