...against reality," editorialized the Atlanta Constitution. Indeed, the city's board of education had not only faced reality but accepted it. Ordered by U.S. District Judge Frank A. Hooper to present an acceptable integration plan (TIME, June 15), the board delivered last week on schedule.

If Judge Hooper accepts, Atlanta's 95,000 public-school students (40% Negro) will be integrated a class at a time from the twelfth grade down-a twelve-year process...

Along with other skin specialists in the Southwest, he is seeing more and more harmful effects from exposure to the sun, now that leisure time is increasing and proportionately more of it is spent in "healthy" outdoor activity (and, he might have added, by bathers and sunbathers wearing proportionately less clothing...
