More than Anything. One of the most damning facts about the L.A. department is that its force of 4,000 has only 220 blacks. Police departments have assiduously sought to recruit Negro officers in the past few years, but most of them have not had much success (Exceptions: Washington, 21% of the force; Philadelphia, 20%; Chicago, 17%). Negro policemen are often looked on as Judases when they put on the blue uniform. "More than anything," laments a black patrolman in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant, "I want my people to like me.

One of them is Actress Sylva Daničková, the lovely hostess at her country's Kinoautomat success at Expo 67.

He became, in fact, the first Gaullist politician...
Unpleasant Choice. Sato readily admitted that he had "never worked so hard in my life as in this election," but hard work was only part of the explanation for his success. For one thing, Japan's anti-American mood had been severely overestimated-particularly by the Tokyo press. In fact, some of the grievances that had sparked the protests, including the one in front of the Tokyo hospital, were less ideological objections than complaints against the noise of helicopters bringing in wounded G.I.s, jets landing at bases, and other down-to-earth factors.
