Richberg's Cafe on U.S. Highway 11 in Enterprise, Miss., served customers Southern style: blacks entered and ate at one end of the establishment, whites at the other, with a partition in between. That type of separation was outlawed in 1964 by the public-accommodation section of the Federal Civil Rights Act, which applied to the cafe because substantial quantities of food and beverages served came from outside the state. But such new-found laws were not about to move Proprietor A. W. Richberg. When the Federal Government sued, Richberg simply renamed the cafe's white section "Dixie...
...less than one-third its original 29,000 square miles, now fills a lopsided circle about the size of Vermont.

Increasingly, the Biafrans have based their defense on quick guerrilla-type strikes, which are the specialty of a small group of hard-bitten European mercenaries who have thrown in their lot with Biafra.

But instead of using complex and expensive Mariner or Voyager spacecraft for these flights, the scientists recommended the older and more economical Pioneer-type craft first launched in 1958. They are smaller than the Mariners and spin at 60 r.p.m., but can be crammed full of sophisticated new instruments. Placed into orbit around the planets, the little craft could return detailed scientific data and even take pictures with a transistorized, 10-Ib. TV camera...
Because of the age-old curiosity about life on Mars, the report also gives top priority to a Mariner orbital flight in 1971 and a Mariner-type craft that could orbit and land on the red planet by 1973. Mariner's large payload would enable it to carry instruments that might well detect life on Mars, if it exists...
