...Cecil Price, with conspiring to violate the civil rights of the three young civil rights workers-Andrew Goodman, 20, Michael Schwerner, 24, and James Chancy, 21, who were shot dead near Philadelphia, Miss., in 1964. In a separate indictment, the grand jury charged twelve men with conspiring to "intimidate, threaten, and coerce" Hattiesburg Farmer Vernon Dahmer, who died when his home was fire-bombed last year. One man, Sam H. Bowers Jr., 42, Imperial Wizard of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, was named in both indictments. With the exception of Bowers, none of the men could...
...defensive military posture. Clearly the requirements of military training will still have to be met, and the military system may adjust to this with difficulty.

There is no threat that such a philosophy will threaten the strength of our defense; on the contrary, as the level of education in this country rises and the temperament of youth changes, our soldiers may demand that they be asked to die in a uniform that represents more than strict military efficiency.

But, though reservations are strong, it is clear that universities, Harvard included, want more federal money and that they will fight to get it: when President Johnson proposed that the NDEA program of student loans be substantially changed, universities yelled like hell, and, along with other affected interests, actually won a major modification in the President...
...construction bosses, executives, real estate salesmen and repair men. Undertakers in Chicago contact freelance embalmers by radio pager, and in Miami funeral directors are paged at graveside the same way. Off the Atlantic coast, fishing craft without ship-to-shore rigs are called in by radio pagers when storms threaten. In Denver, one motel-maintenance engineer packs a pager, and an executive beeps his daughter when he thinks that she ought to start home from an evening date...
