...point, a juror gave the accused a broad wink. It was a good tipoff. After 1 hr. 29 min. of deliberation, the jury reached its verdict: "Not guilty." Not that anyone had expected differently in "bloody Lowndes," as Negroes call the county. Nonetheless, Attorney General Flowers, a courageous, outspoken antisegregationist whose own life was threatened during the trial, denounced the verdict as an outrage. Said he: "Now those who feel they have a license to kill, maim and destroy have been issued that license...
...designs are all over, lending underwear new snap, crackle and also pop. There is a panty brief with a printed-on image of an oversized zipper that never expected to or could get zipped, another with an American-flag motif. A third has a pair of eyes that wink from the rear, shed a tear in the front−virtually demanding comment from hasty psychoanalysts.

...Broad reception halls and dining rooms convert from business luncheons at noon to formal dinners at night.

After the meeting, Simon said: "Canada Dry is doing exactly what it should be doing...
Poachers in the Mines. Employers fret about all this, but they have their hands full just competing for help. Because labor has become more precious than goods, German manufacturers wink at pilferage that costs them an estimated $1 billion a year. Dutch housebuilders commonly pay their men "black salaries"-10% to 20% above the legal limit-or lose them; last year 18 small Dutch textile mills closed for lack of workers. Belgian coal companies, which fly in weekly planeloads of Turkish miners, cry that Dutch and German labor poachers steal their recruits almost as fast as they arrive...
