Tired of that, they set upon a police station wagon, banging on the top and nearly rocking it over. An airport limousine got the same treatment and so did one of the motorized carriages that runs around the Common. Then, finally, the cops showed up. They conspicuously stayed away from the grass where people were still clustered around smoking. All they did was clear Beacon St. and the little road inside the Common fence. Last Sunday there was none of this kind of trouble, although one group of about 100 marched on the Western Ave. Jail near Central Sq., where...
...Torino, is an effort to cash in on Detroit's growing emphasis on sporty styling and intermediate size. Marketed with the Fairlane line, the Torino features the elongated hood and abbreviated rear end that has caught on in the specialty cars; it comes in hardtop, sedan and station wagon, as well as a racier "GT" model equipped with a 210-h.p.

Two hours later, 10th Precinct Sergeant Arthur Howison led a raid on the League, arresting 73 Negro customers and the bartender. In the next hour, while squad cars and a paddy wagon ferried the arrested to the police station, a crowd gathered, taunting the fuzz and "jiving" with friends who had been picked up. "Just as we were pulling away," Howison said, "a bottle smashed a squad-car window." Then it began...
