...desegregation, like a city gutted by steady bombing. James Coleman, the University of Chicago sociologist, attributed this "white flight" in other cities under desegregation to busing, but he neglected to ask the suburban refugees to itemize the reasons why they fled. Lee Valenti and others in Boston's neighborhoods spell out many more than one reason, and assert they have "wised up" to realize that they cannot even depend on the well-intending folks who have escaped--that those of them who cannot move out must take business into their owns hands and hopefully, someday, do it together...

...indemnify white settlers for any property seized by a black government or to buy the property from them if they decided to leave the country. The effect of the fund, Kissinger hopes, would be to assure Rhodesia's 275,000 whites that majority rule need not spell economic disaster for them. Details of the fund are still to be worked out, presumably by the Kissinger shuttle...
...region of eastern South Dakota that is the center of the livestock business, fully 75% of the herd has already been sold off. Although cattlemen have been losing as much as $150 on every head, cash receipts so far have postponed widespread financial disaster. But the three-year dry spell, which has also affected large areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin, northern Michigan, Nebraska and Iowa (TIME, July 26), is now pushing ranchers to the end of their credit lines. Leland Sivertsen, for example, has been trying, without much luck, to get emergency money from the Farmers Home Administration to keep...
...attempting to explain some of the recent worldwide weather aberrations, meteorologists have traced Europe's grueling hot spell to two strong high-pressure zones, one centered over the Azores, the other just northeast of Iceland. For some unknown reason, the two came together to create the "Azores bridge." This in turn formed what weather experts called the "omega block," a high-pressure barricade that prevented the normal clockwise movement of damp air from the Atlantic to Europe, a flow that usually assumes a vast omega (Ω) shape. Australian meteorologists have attributed the drought to the unexplained absence...
