Cohesive Conclusion. Yet the great majority of the Negroes of Watts accepted the verdict without rioting. A window or two were smashed; a Molotov cocktail arced through the darkness. But the facts of the Deadwyler case-demonstrated to all through the dumb, impartial TV eye-carried conviction. Negro witnesses contradicted one another repeatedly, offering little to back up Mrs. Barbara Deadwyler's story that Bova had stuck his revolver through the car window to shoot her husband deliberately. One swore that the shot was fired from a moving police car; others divided on the crucial point as to whether...

They also take pride in keeping their new oasis tidy: the eight cans a day of "airmail"-garbage hurled out the window-have now shrunk to only one. To earn rapport with tenants accustomed to being disregarded, U.S. Gypsum assigned Salesman Warren Obey as fulltime project manager. "When Warren came here," says longtime tenant Zion R.
