...TIME'S story on "Black vs. Jew: A Tragic Confrontation" [Jan. 31] was excellent. Both the Jews and the Negroes share a history of oppression. Both share a history of ghetto existence. But one thing was in favor of the Jew: his skin is white...
...sure, were exactly memorable. "I'm trying to graduate from college myself this fall," Nixon would tell college audiences. "The Electoral College." A few were execrable. "It's one thing to give 'em hell," he said after Hubert Humphrey had made a well-publicized visit to Harry Truman. "It's another to give them Hubert."

...restless. They gripe endlessly, snarl out of the sides of their mouths and generally brood up a storm. Finally, the boys in isolation decide to do something about it. They bust out, take over the cell block and hold the guards as hostages. The object of the whole thing is to stall for time so that a few of the riot ringleaders (Jim Brown, Gene Hackman, Ben Carruthers) can tunnel under the wall and make a break for freedom...
