...obey the law to the best of our ability (for) our economy will suffer, and prospective industrialists will surely pass us by." These sentiments may not be particularly noble; and that is the point. The path of justice and the road to riches have finally merged for a large segment of the population of this small, representative Mississippi town. Respectable Mississippians can no longer afford not to obey the Federal laws; certainly the Federal government can now enforce those laws...
...Kerner has sometimes seemed indecisive as a Governor, it is also true that he has deftly avoided getting any large segment of the population angry at him. He has pushed a progressive program of regional mental-health clinics, helped increase Illinois exports abroad, reduced public relief costs, firmly supported state laws to help Negroes get fairer treatment in seeking housing and jobs, knocked much administrative waste out of the State Toll Road Commission.

Nowhere in your article does Mr. Balanchine or your writer give any hope for the sadly lacking male segment of the company...
Prattling Particles. Radios and radars were also alert. Any nuclear explosion sets off a great variety of electromagnetic waves, some of which are in the radio segment of the spectrum. They travel great distances, guided around the curve of the earth by ionized layers in the upper atmosphere, and they are not difficult to detect. The explosion-born pulse of radio waves disappears quickly, but another radio effect lingers on. As the mushroom cloud climbs into the stratosphere, its radioactivity releases a vast number of electrons that ionize a mass of air and turn it into a radio wave reflector...

But corneas from a large variety of dogs have remained transparent in 50% of Dr. Payrau's cases. Size is unimportant since only a segment of the human cornea is replaced. Dogs' eyes even have an advantage over humans': the dog never suffers from inflammation and scarring of the cornea due to infection with the herpes simplex (fever blister) virus. Human corneas are vulnerable to this virus...
