...damn nigger paper here." Terrified silence. "We're gettin' so sick of you nigger lovers." This was beginning to sound familiar. "Why don't you get out of our town--why don't you go back where you belong. We hate you so much. We want you to stay away. We don't want you and your white nigger friends comin' here."

The shepherds have an uncanny knack for avoiding booby traps (apparently, their ears can pick up the tiny sound made by the breeze on a taut trip wire). One handler, Marine Sergeant Roy Jergins, says: "I walk where my dog walks, and I walk right through the booby traps."

The show in fact used blow-ups of printed pages as backdrops, and it employed at least one familiar example of magazine terminology: the "cover story." On the whole, the opening show amounted to a good cub reporter's try. Sound cameras caught some revealing glimpses and comments of Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey as they sat self-consciously before their TV screens during the G.O.P. and Democratic Convention balloting.

...prime rate by a full ½% (to 5½%) and firmly held its ground despite outraged cries from other bankers and a counterpunch by Citibank, which reduced its rate only ¼%. Still, almost everybody finally fell in line with Chase-a victory that earned the bank considerable prestige for sound and shrewd judgment. As to why other banks failed to follow the lead again last week, Chase Vice President and Economist William Butler says: "They're chicken. We're not in the habit of being wrong...
