...main issue we'll have to keep confronting is respect--that's the start--when confidence isn't by skin color," Monro says. "Relating somehow to the sound black college offers one orderly, rational way to begin to tear down the barriers we have built around ourselves." Without Miles College and its educational and organizational objectives, the future of Birmingham's black community probably would differ little from its past.

Since the first "new" issue hit the stands on Dec. 9 (and attracted an additional 200,000 buyers), the magazine has devoted more space to news and timely features; although the ratio of pictures to text is still fifty-fifty, the photographs seem chosen to complement rather than dominate accompanying stories. "We deal with hotter subjects now," says Photography Editor Jean Rigade. "B52 raids rather than National Geographic-type picture stories about the great rivers of the world. The beauty of the photos is less important than their content...
