...Negro's basic spirituality has been castrated by the splintering of sects within the Negro community, the Irish exiles were united in one strong religious faith. Thus, young Paddy could be kept from allowing his fine temper to prevail by fear of family wrath-or worse, a session with the priest. But more's the power to you, Mr. Moynihan. A grand young man like you could even give the Kennedys a run for their money...

Lyndon Johnson's new commission to study civil disorder was still getting organized, and its chairman, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner, doubted that it could even meet a deadline for an interim report next March. In closed session, the group heard a number of witnesses, including J.

At midweek the price rose to $1.87 during one frenzied session when a record 16.25 million oz. worth nearly $30 million changed hands. At week's end the spot price closed at $1.8315, 42% above the dethroned Treasury price. The silver fever spread to the London Metal Exchange, where brokers planned to operate for the first time a formal futures market...
