...bordering the flower garden (which has been replanted by a new White House gardener), the hues of cherry blossoms and forsythia across the yard made him smile. Off to his right. Caroline's swings and slides lent a touch of outdoor domesticity. Said the President, with an expansive wave: "Look at that. Isn't it great?" The President's mood seemed to reflect the nation's: for the moment, at least, the U.S. seemed far less interested in the TFX squabble, the NATO nuclear force, tax cutting, or even taxpaying. than in crocuses, curve balls...
Under the hood, the news is negative.

It also welcomed a new source of research renown: the independent Max Planck Institute for Physics, named for the late pioneer of the quantum theory, and headed by Physicist Heisenberg, discoverer of the "uncertainty principle."* Though Heisenberg moved his staff to Munich...
...Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee is hardly flattered by lip-service acknowledgement, nor is it bothered by the vicissitudes that have characterized civil rights activity on the twelve pleasant acres of the Morehouse campus. In the summer of 1961, as the first wave of sit-in activity receded, the Committee decided that "if the movement was to have meaning for the millions of degraded, disenfranchised, and exploited Negroes in the Black Belt South, someone would have to take the theories, methods, practices and actualities of direct action and voter registration to them...
