...fear and apathy-but it is beginning to pay off. White and colored students working in Raleigh, N.C.-where an 8,000-vote Negro bloc has been the deciding factor in the last two municipal elections-cruised through Negro neighborhoods with a Negro registrar in their bus and station wagon, registered 1,300 new voters at the curbside in six weeks. In Terrell County, Ga., a federal injunction two years ago finally resulted in the registration of 51 of the county's 8,209 Negroes. Last week New York Times Correspondent Claude Sitton was on hand when the Terrell...
...here to blow down the entire palace." No reply came from the grey granite building. One of 30 tanks out front gunned its engine, rammed through the black wrought-iron gates. A few minutes later, a tired, slightly bowed man was escorted from the palace, plunked into a station wagon, and packed off to an island prison aboard a troopship...
FORD, for the first time, will offer Falcon and Comet convertibles. Falcon sedans will take on the Thunderbird's crisp roof line. The intermediate Fairlane and Meteor will add station wagon models and both will change their grilles, the Fairlane from flat to concave and the Meteor to a forward thrust.

He exhorted the boulders to rise against the iron heel of oppression. He demanded of the mountains that they nominate Grant for a third term. While other cowpunchers twanged The Old Chisholm Trail, Ashurst (who knew...
...A.D.A. again missed the winner's wagon, showed a mild preconvention preference for Minnesota's Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, an A.D.A. member. The organization cannot forgive Kennedy for saying back in 1953 that he was "not comfortable with" the A.D.A. type. Aside from Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman and Presidential Assistant Arthur Schlesinger Jr., no prominent Administration officials hold A.D.A. membership cards. Chester Bowles, Soapy Williams, Arthur Goldberg and Abraham Ribicoff had all ceased to be members before they joined the Administration team. Presidential Special Counsel Ted Sorensen was an A.D.A. fire-eater in his college days, but drifted...
