...This season, four Californians dressed in Grambling black-and-gold have run off with practically every sprint relay in sight, and their times (40 sec. for the 440, 1 min. 23.3 sec. for the 880) are the fastest in the U.S. Last week, at the Southwestern Athletic Conference meet in Houston, they romped to yet another 440-yd. victory, in 40.4 sec. Better still, they have only begun to hit their stride. Donald Owens is only a junior, but he is the captain of the team. The others-Richard Stebbins, Vernus Ragsdale and Donald Meadows-are all sophomores running...
Since the enactment of the first right-to-work law in Florida in 1944, the movement has been hotly debated in virtually every state, but has been really successful only in the Plains, Southwestern and Southeastern states, where the laws have been passed mainly to lure industries from union-dominated Northern states. Opponents, led by the chiefs of organized labor, have countered the lure argument with a statistic that again proved to be forceful in last week's Oklahoma election: the states with right-to-work laws have an annual per capita income of $379 less than the national...
...Astruc should have been concentrating on the road as he drove along the icy edge of the Lot River in southwestern France. But Astruc is a spelunker, always on the lookout for potholes to pop into.

Stones and dirt caved in; warm air whooshed out. Suddenly Astruc was staring into a narrow tunnel. "I was alone," he says, "afraid to go in very far, or stay very long...
...less definite than the steel case in details about how, when, and where the millers met to set; it claims that they used two economics news services to spread the word on what the prices were to be, also had the prices published in a trade journal called the Southwestern Miller. If anyone of the conspirators was suspected of deviating from the set flour price, say the trustbusters, the others got on the telephone to enforce the agreements...
SNCC field workers are now seeking methods to make nonviolence work in the Second South, where Zinn says, "the smell of slavery still lingers." The worst regions are Southern Virginia, Southwestern Georgia, Eastern Arkansas, and all of Mississippi. In these areas machine guns and bombs are freely used against the Negro population. According to Robert Moses, SNCC project director in Mississippi, there have been 180 cross burnings, five killings, several shootings, and at least three whippings in Mississippi since the Ku Klux Klan reorganized shortly after President Kennedy's death...
