...long ago, Justice Tom P. Brady of the Mississippi Supreme Court was worst known as the philosopher of Mississippi's racist white Citizens' Councils and the polemical author of Black Monday, a Negro-baiting tract attacking the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 school desegregation decision. Brady, then a state Circuit Court judge, insisted that the decision was "not the law of the land." Said he: "The loveliest and the purest of God's creatures, the nearest thing to an angelic being that treads this terrestrial ball is a well-bred, cultured Southern white woman...
Public Detail. When Ike had his ileitis attack in June 1956, there were not many Americans who could boast that they had an inflammation of the lower intestinal tract in the family. It was potentially dangerous in view of the President's heart condition. Yet, curiously enough, Ike seems not to have been unduly disturbed by the attack or his operation. In the second, concluding volume of his presidential memoirs (The White House Years, 1956-61: Waging Peace), out this week, he devotes only one paragraph to that illness, recalls: "Strangely enough, although I was truly miserable for several...

Last week, in the first of a series of 12 evening outdoor concerts, they got their answer. The people started arriving at noon, toting picnic baskets and blankets. By late afternoon, long processionals-young couples...
Furthermore, Mayor Collins - until then a strong supporter of the Aliston BRA project - said that he had "recommended to the Boston Redevelopment Authority that it re-open the question of the best use of the six-acre tract after it has been cleared and that it reconsider as well the method of selecting a developer." (Italics supplied.) He continued that the recently enacted Housing Act of 1965 "makes it possible to achieve lower rents than were possible when the project was first planned." He proposed a blue-ribbon committee be selected to evaluate the best use of the land...
