Dedicated to Negro integration and achievement in a basically white society, Ebony cannot take black separatism too seriously. Unlike some Negro publications, it has not banned the word Negro, but uses it interchangeably with the more fashionable "black." A recent editorial tried good-humoredly to put the matter in perspective. It described an after-dinner speaker who began: "Mr. Chairman, distinguished platform guests and my fellow Afro-Americans, Negro, Black, Colored, Soul Brothers and Sisters ..." To some militants, including some members of the staff, Ebony is too smugly middleclass. To which Executive Editor Herbert Nipson replies: "Some people expect Ebony...
George Washington's Vixen. Negroes who are dissatisfied with Ebony's moneymaking nonmilitancy need only turn to Johnson's money-losing Negro Digest-a strenuous voice of Black Power. Writing that is roughly eloquent mingles with writing that is just plain rough. "Every white throat cut is a success in itself," was one writer's contribution to racial amity.

...member of Lady Bird Johnson's committee to beautify the capital, and Interior Secretary Stewart Udall's man on the spot to improve the Mall, Owings also rides herd on the committee to redesign Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the Capitol ?

When completed, it will run straight and wide from a great reflecting pool at the foot of the Capitol to a National Square before the White House. Crucial to the plan is the 75-ft. setback along the avenue's north side, which is already being redeveloped by the Government and private entrepreneurs. To keep the setback, Owings has had to deploy his considerable powers of suasion. When he learned that the FBI intended to build...
Starzl stopped operating while he and his colleagues worked on a less hazardous method of immunosuppression, using antilymphocyte serum or globulin extracted from horses into which human white blood cells had been injected (TIME, July 26). Only when the technique was developed satisfactorily did he begin transplanting again. In his second series, Starzl operated last year on Julie Rodriguez, now 21, who suffered from cancer of the liver. Julie has had to be readmitted for additional treatment, but has now survived for a record twelve months. Starzl has no hope of curing her cancer, which has spread. What is certain...
