...Bubbling Tar. Maybe they hadn't. As it turned out last week, Robert Lewis was the worst, or maybe merely the zaniest, rogue who had yet tried to turn the surging U.S. civil rights movement to his own purposes.

Brazilian diplomats boycotted a dinner aboard the liner France when it docked at Rio, sales of French wines slumped, and Carnival revelers dressed as lobsters danced a new lobster samba.
