Similar services have sprung up in Charlotte, N.C., Northern Illinois and throughout the Midwest. In Northern California, National Postal Service last year delivered 84 million advertising circulars and other third-class mail for J.C. Penney, Montgomery Ward and Sears, Roebuck, among other customers. N.P.S. was paid $33 per thousand pieces of mail, about $17 less than the USPS charges...
...suspension of the subsidy programs will cost contractors $383 million in potential business over the next year and a half - $44 million just inside Atlanta. Newark, N.J., officials put the likely loss in construction payrolls in that city at $86 million. Black-owned mortgage-banking firms that have sprung up to specialize in subsidy work will be hurt even more than the builders. Dempsey Travis, president of Chicago's Sivart Mortgage Corp., the nation's largest black-owned mortgage company, has cut his staff 25% since the freeze began. He says he knows of at least seven other...
...Wars depleted The Crimson as well as the College Training camps sprung up to process men into soldiers, and Crimson editors volunteered in droves.

"We must put people on their guard against books, journals and conferences where false ideas are propagated," he said. One idea he cited as false was that of "women religious giving up their dress, abandoning their own works, only to immerse themselves...
...happy integration going back to the arrival of Danish colonizers nearly 300 years ago. Never in memory was it a problem for blacks and whites to sit at the same restaurant table or drink at the same bar. But St. Croix's first all-white bar has sprung up as a sanctuary in Christiansted. Architect Frank Prince recently took his wife to a place they used to go to drink and was immediately accosted by a black friend who said: "Frank, get your drink and travel. I'll cover you until...
