...also as the representative of his people, for whom 1963 was perhaps the most important year in their history. Their emergence has manifested itself in many ways: in passive resistance, in angry demands, in patient example, in significant achievement. No longer does performance in sport or music circumscribe Negro accomplishments, and in an accompanying eight-page portfolio, TIME looks at some unsung Negro successes in American life...
Supreme Court Watchers, devoted to a spectator sport even more decorous than cricket or chess-by-mail, broke out in a buzz of raised eyebrows last week.

...incredible part of all that money can buy. Its escutcheon-a profusion of noble coronets, intrepid lions and soaring eagles-is carved in stone amidst the proudest vineyards of Bordeaux.

With his handsome wife, he is ready to try the latest dances, from...
Love for the sport is all that keeps the Harvard Ruby Club going. As an unofficial athletic activity, it confronts obstacles recognized teams never face. The College gives the Club no support except the use of a field (which the players feel is a very poor one at that). Practices are not compulsory, and therefore poorly attended. The team plays anyway, even without practice, and only when 15 men do not appear is the match cancelled...
