...plan will not be easy to put into effect. While black militants terrorize the remaining whites in the Detroit schools, the Ku Klux Klan has been gathering recruits in the suburbs. Last spring a suburban high school principal was tarred and feathered by hooded Klansmen after he organized a two-day human relations program for blacks and whites. Yet any integration plan, if it is to succeed, must include the suburbs, as both the N.A.A.C.P. and the Citizens' Committee have emphasized. If full-scale integration is ordered in the city only, whites will flee in ever greater numbers...
Karmic Deficit. At the two-day closed hearing in New York, both principals informally introduced witnesses. They were allowed to cross-examine and tell their own versions of the dispute. After three long, deliberative sessions, the arbitrators reached a decision. "Karma," they explained, "is a Sanskrit word that refers to the moral and spiritual consequences of our actions. There is a Karmic deficit here that Abbie should compensate Tom for. Abbie has made similar mistakes in the past, and we want to encourage him not to make them again." Abbie's tab for that offense...

Last spring, however, the Gaullist-dominated Paris city council withdrew permission for use of the park on the grounds that the fair was too disruptive to strollers. The Communist mayor of La Courneuve, in Paris' northern suburbs, quickly came to the rescue, offering 116 acres of parkland for the festival. More than 600,000 fairgoers, including such celebrities as Actress Melina Mercouri, braved intolerable traffic snarls to reach the site. Once there, bourgeois families crowded shoulder to shoulder with party...
...that Northern Ireland, in short, cannot survive in its present form. To be sure, the question was whether the week's political moves were too little and too late. The proposals for tripartite prime-ministerial talks for the all-Ulster round-table conference and for the two-day debate in Commons-or even Faulkner's hint at week's end of other concessions-might not be in time to reverse the upward spiral of violence. "No night passes without sporadic bombings and snipings, no day without bomb scares," TIME Correspondent Curtis Prendergast reported from Belfast last week...
