...population statistics are among the very finest in the world, papers presented to the Conference have established beyond reasonable doubt that the Decennial Census, the Current Population Survey, and to a lesser degree, the Vital Statistics of the United States, seriously and significantly under-enumerate or under-estimate the size of the Negro, Puerto-Rican and Mexican-American populations. As much as 10 per cent of the Negro population may not have been counted in the 1960 Census, and there is considerable probability that the Puerto Rican and Mexican-American were similarly under-counted...

So it has a certain size; it may be 5 miles across, at most 10. So you have a certain number of villages, maybe a dozen, around the market town. You have a community of maybe 5,000-7,000 people--and these people form the basic peasant community, not just the village but the marketing structure...

It avoids taxing the mind or the arches with museums, historical monuments and other cultural shrines. Instead, there is selective advice on how to establish oneself as a temporary Londoner: what newspapers and magazines to buy, which names to drop, when to be at which pubs or discotheques, and how to attack in the ticket-buying, reservation-cadging, club-crashing wars. The author, a TIME contributing editor who also wrote the April 15, 1966, cover story on swinging London, organizes...
