...metal gouged from the destroyer were welded to Melbourne's superstructure by the intense frictional heat of the grinding crash. In the stern, Evans' crewmen, most of whom were asleep in their bunks, were tossed about by the fearful force of the impact. Soon trained instincts replaced shock, and the crew calmly battened down watertight doors to keep the hulk afloat...
Even if one believes that the ends justified the means, those who today assert that the seizure produced worth-while results might realize that the costs themselves were too high. These results, insofar as they are due to force, derive at least as much from the shock of the bust as from that of the seizure. In the wake of these shocks, what put the place together again and made it move forward was a generalized and passionate display of the good uses of reason: colloquia, meetings, discussion, negotiations, most of which proved constructive and orderly. Surely the price paid...
...some extent, this judgment was right. If Harvard succeeded in recovering quickly from the shock of the events of April 9-10, it was largely because of such factors.

But Harvard's complacency has been mistaken, not because it was wrong to believe, say, that the deficiencies of Columbia analyzed by Professor Cox did not exist here, but because the obvious differences between Harvard and other Universities helped us underemphasize two crucial factors, both of which had become apparent long before the April days, albeit...
...states in the Deep South have adapted to the impetus of integration as successfully as South Carolina. In contrast with Alabama and Mississippi, the old Palmetto State weathered changes with relatively little trauma.

The "Orangeburg Massacre" joined Selma and Neshoba County in the litany of racial violence...
...jittery bond market, which ordinarily supplies 95% of the capital needed to finance U.S. business expansion. Some bond dealers describe trading conditions as the most disorderly in memory. So many banks are unloading their bond holdings to raise money for loans that underwriters are being forced to offer "shock prices" to sell new issues at all. Southern New England Telephone Co. last week paid 7.723% interest-the highest for any unit of A.T. & T. since 1921-to bring out $65 million in debentures...
