...only lasting solution won't cost a cent-but it will be the hardest to achieve." He then said this would require a change in men's hearts-in the way they see and treat their neighbors. No other white leader's remarks and few colored spokesmen have isolated and described so well the deep and festering wound responsible for the outbreaks-namely, the long-ingrained conviction and the sustained conduct in and by millions of whites that the Negro is an inferior person. The glib, commonplace expression "free, white and twenty-one" epitomizes this ghastly...

...true enough, said Army spokesmen, that three operations involving nerve agents were carried out the day before the sheep collapsed. In one, chemical-warfare troops in training watched as three 155-mm. artillery shells containing a short-lived nerve agent were fired off in an area 27 miles inside Dugway's limits. Later that afternoon, 160 gal. of a more stable nerve agent were destroyed by fire in a disposal training exercise about 19 miles inside the proving grounds. Finally, a nerve liquid was sprayed from a jet aircraft traveling at high speed. But the spray had stayed well...
