...like. To cool any potential riot fever, the city had allotted an additional $3,000,000 for this summer's Head Start and recreation programs. So well did the city seem to be handling its problems that Congress of Racial Equality Director Floyd McKissick excluded Detroit last winter when he drew up a list of twelve cities where racial trouble was likely to flare...
Running ahead of everybody else, according to local polls, is State Treasurer William Winter, 44, who by Ole Miss standards is practically a radical. Winter started off his campaign with the hope that it would be devoted to "bread-and-butter issues, not the old emotional ones-not racial issues...
That, clearly, was too much to hope.

In short, the newly elected leaders (who had been de facto leaders for half the previous year) calmly drove many Lampoon members away, leaving no one but charming, neurotic insiders and the obtusely dull hangers-on. While this cultural revolution was underway this spring, the Lampoonproduced virtually nothing. Their "Movies Worst" issue, two months late for the first time in memory, failed even to produce the humor innate in the conventional forms of that issue...
