...dollars a month--was largely due to a series of one-shot, good-will deposits from a variety of large white businesses such as Bowery Savings Bank and the Chemical Bank of New York. As long as Freedom National wants to feel sure that these funds will not be withdrawn from its vaults, it cannot afford to take open stands on social issues. In Haryou's language, what appeals to the black masses alienates the white power structure. Hudgins' church sermons on thrift, followed by solicitations, cannot spark the same kind of enthusiasm which could be generated by playing...
...already clear, says Stacton, that he was "preternaturally intelligent, as precocious as Macaulay or J. S. Mill." In Austria, however, he was placed with tutors who were instructed to retard his development as much as possible. After a few years of repressive treatment, the boy became withdrawn and watchful. At 16, he developed tuberculosis. At 21, ignored by his mother and surrounded by doctors who tried to make him eat 64 live snails as a pick-me-up, L'Aiglon died. "Between my cradle and my tomb," he said not long before the end, "there is a great null...
...into ingot molds to harden, strip away the mold, reheat the ingot and roll it into semifinished shapes. Continuous casting eliminates these cumbersome steps. A ladle atop a tower pours white-hot steel into a 2-to-4-ft-deep oscillatfhg copper-lined mold.

The technique has cut production costs by more than $10 a ton for companies such as Roblin Steel of Dunkirk, N.Y., which helped...
Howard's baby maker appeared once, and was then withdrawn at the request of the Improvement of Advertising Content Committee, run jointly by the Association of National Advertisers and the American Association of Advertising Agencies. So strongly have agencies turned to sex that the 20-man committee, which acts as an industry censor, is almost overworked: normally it reviews about 55 ads a year after receiving complaints, but this year it has already had 30 under scrutiny...
...foes, chief among whom are the Rev. Martin Luther King, the American Negro middle class, and absolutely all white men everywhere. In his 1964 play, The Toilet, Jones gave painful promise of developing gifts as a writer. In this disjointed collection of essays, the promise is flatly withdrawn. Jones clings raptly to his privileged role as victim, and has settled for a career as blackwash expert. He modestly admits to black sexual superiority: "Most American white men are trained to be fags." Insult, in fact, is his single weapon: "The American policeman is the foulest social category in the world...
