Brewster ended up taking the state's three westernmost counties, where the Negro population is small and civil rights are no problem. He also scored heavily in the well-to-do bedroom suburbs that skirt Washington. But his winning margin came from Baltimore's Jewish and Negro areas. The city's Fifth District, home of 80% of Baltimore's 90,000 Jews, gave Brewster 39,000 votes, Wallace 9,000. The lopsided results were much the same in black Baltimore. In 17 Negro precincts, Wallace got not a single ballot. Eighty-seven Negro boxes gave...
Most of the Caribbean islands throb to the rallying cries of independence and nationalism. But the French West Indies - Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Guadeloupe's six dependencies - seem as placid as the emerald waters that lap their pearl-white beaches. In the westernmost backwater of Charles de Gaulle's French community 4,250 miles from Paris, natives and tourists sit at sunny, sidewalk tables placidly nibbling crusty French bread and sipping flat French beer; in narrow streets, the scent of bougainvillaea mingles with the fumes of beeping Simcas and Peugeots. And when le grand Charles stops over in Guadeloupe...
...weld-awkwardly dubbed the News-Call Bulletin-might cure a combined deficit approaching $2,000,000 a year. What Hearst really wanted was to take over its smaller rival; the union was approved only after Scripps-Howard, anxious to hang onto its only West Coast newspaper (its next westernmost outlet is the Albuquerque, N.M. Tribune), paid $500,000 for the right to run the news side of the joint operation, leaving business affairs to Hearst...
Almost as debilitating as the contact injuries are the rigors of travel. Any N.B.A. team is apt to find itself playing seven games in as many cities within ten days. As the westernmost team, Los Angeles this season will travel 100,000 miles to play a 79-game schedule. Conspicuous as a herd of giraffes, the N.B.A.'s big men have learned to cope with an alien world of threatening doorframes and ridiculously small chairs. At night they drape their feet over suitcase racks placed at the ends of their Hollywood-style hotel beds. After a game, supper...
Center of activity is Pinar del Rio, Cuba's westernmost province, where prosperous tobacco growers stand to lose their land to Castro's agrarian reform. The fighting arm is headed by a former Batista army corporal named Luis Lara. Last month Castro's troops captured 20 of Lara's men, including two U.S. aircraft pilots. But Lara remains at large...
