Perdew told the CRIMSON last night that he hoped to visit Boston and his home town of Denver during the next few days and then to return to the South to continue his work for civil rights. He said he did not know in which Southern city he would work. "I've been out of touch with the situation for three months, after all. "I'll go wherever I can do the most good," he said...
Potatoes for Survival. Last week Bolivia's President Victor Paz Estenssoro, 56, flew to the U.S. for a state visit. Most inhabitants of the altiplano-who don't even know what goes on in La Paz-were unaware that he had gone. It is spring in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Indians are plowing and planting.

...five generations of Follets, seen circa 1915 through the lens-sharp perceptions of Jay's son Rufus. There are moments when the film seems about to capture this elusive poetic mood: Jay and Rufus at the picture show laughing at Charlie Chaplin, then moseying home after dark; a visit to Rufus' great-great-grandmother, edentate, gibbering, gaunt, propped up in her wheelchair like a gnarled old angel of death; Rufus amidst mystifying adult rituals at the funeral parlor where he goes to see his father.
