...imply that in the dark, amid yelling, bottle throwing and insults, while faced with thousands of milling people, the police could sort out the four groups and could then apply the appropriate kinds of restraint? You must be dreaming. You say that no one "could have known which windows [thrown objects] came from." No trick at all when you ask hotelmen to spot for you, as the police did. You are also casual about thrown objects that start from the fifteenth floor; they strike hard, and it is homicidal to throw them...

Equal Fire. Though Wallace had hitherto spent most of his time attacking Democratic liberals, last week he finally turned equal fire on the G.O.P. "If you vote the national Republican ticket," he told a Little Rock, Ark., audience, "you have thrown your vote away." In 1952, he reminded them, Republicans said "pretty things" to the South, but then appointed Earl Warren to the Supreme Court. "The national Republican Party, for the first time since Reconstruction, put the bayonet in the backs of the people of Arkansas." Richard Nixon's Southern strategy, he added, was an attempt...
