...that China's Red Guards have demonstrated their ability to stir up trouble, why shouldn't Red China's European counterpart, Albania, have its own Red Guards? So, last week Albanian youths streamed into the 'mountains as "voluntary activists" to force collectivization on the 10% of the country that still can plant its own crops. Albania's Communist Party has begun burning books, slashing paintings, purging comrades as "decadent" and "soft " breaking down the old habits of the peasants."

...solid-state physics, Bell Laboratories Physicist William Shockley played a major role in the invention of the junction transistor, shared a 1956 Nobel Prize for his efforts, and made a substantial impact on technology and society. Now on the faculty of Stanford University, he is creating yet another stir by advocating a similar approach in a science far afield from his own. In speeches and interviews during the past three years, Shockley has charged that the scientific community has been ignoring or blocking research into possible differences in the genetic makeup of races.

Down on Dallas. Despite the even tone of the narrative, Manchester manages to say enough to stir up several storms. He contends that Kennedy went to Texas to patch up a quarrel between the followers of conservative Governor John Connally Jr., and those of liberal Senator Ralph Yarborough. If there is a villain (other than Oswald) in the Manchester piece, it is Connally, who-says Manchester-wanted to use the presidential visit to serve his own political ends. Calling a press conference, Connally insisted that Kennedy came to Texas to mend his own political fortunes, not to resolve a local...
