...York-based writer visits Baltimore and Washington, and finds that "crime-Negro crime-is almost the only topic of conversation." The Aldine Printing Co. in Los Angeles, the world's largest manufacturer of bumper stickers, reports that its bestseller is SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLICE, the old Birch slogan...
