BLACK JOURNAL. Included in this month's "black magazine" are stories on the semantics of color, a profile of Negro Film Director Melvin Van Peebles, and a report on the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which four years ago challenged the all-white delegation to the Democratic National Convention and this year joins a Mississippi coalition of dissidents to renew its appeal...
...American history, great architects, such as Bulfinch, Richardson, White, Maybeck and Wright, have created a style and generally stuck with it to the end. This is not the way of Nat Owings and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. If one looks at the works of S.O.M., there is an astonishing range and volume of design.

...Regarding "The Overshadowing Issue" [Aug. 2], it is no doubt true that there were over 50 major race riots in the U.S. with whites on the offensive, but I challenge Dr. Franklin's statement that they were not followed by cries for "law and order."

Wilted Face. Two months later, Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson approached Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin in London with L.B.J.'s approval. The P.M. handed the Russian a note, prepared with the help of a White House liaison man, proposing a bombing halt (phase A) to be followed, after a face-saving interval, by mutual de-escalation (phase B). Kosygin had boarded a train to Scotland when Johnson abruptly decided that the proposed interval was too long. The embarrassed Wilson was forced to chase Kosygin down with a new proposal...
