...hardest of all the Negro leaders or a reporter to get to know. It was possible to joke with Thurgood Marshall, philosophize with Roy Wilkins, reminisce with James Farmer, but King remained an impenetrable figure. His faintly Oriental face was a calm mask for the tensions that surged unceasingly within him. Yet he was the bravest man I ever knew in public life. During the terrible days that followed upon the school desegregation ruling, no white Southerner ever matched a fraction of his courage. To watch one of his marches was to sense the awesome power of strong character combined...
...opposite ends of a slender nylon thread no thicker than a pencil mark. Seven times the marlin jumped-great bill-slashing leaps that carried it 10 ft. into the air. A dozen times, while Skipper Young deftly backed and turned the boat, Clarke maneuvered the marlin to within 50 yds. of Sea Wolfe, only to have the fish launch a run that stripped 500 yds. of line off the reel in the space of seconds. The duel went on until 1 p.m., when, after 20 hr. and 15 min. in the fighting chair, Clarke felt his line go slack...
...built-in prejudice against women in a lively polemic called The Church and the Second Sex, (Harper & Row; $4.95). Unmarried, and the only female theology professor at Jesuit-run Boston College, she has three doctorates in religion and philosophy and is an avowed suffragette for female rights within the church. Her book accuses Christianity of contradicting its moral teachings by harboring "oppressive, misogynistic ideas" about women. The roots of such prejudice, contends Dr. Daly, lie in the Old Testament. Eve in Genesis is pictured as created from Adam's rib and as responsible for his fall from grace...
...shape; every time there was a hard rain, some local wag was sure to say: 'Well, this is the day the old dam is going to break." And break it finally did, unleashing a wall of water at times 70 feet high. Within an hour, there was nothing left of Johnstown except a mountain of debris and a handful of scattered houses. It took five years to rebuild the town, and corpses were found as long as seven years afterward. This 500k is a meticulously researched, vivid account of one of the most stunning disasters in U.S. history...
...work well as a service organization. It has, through its canvassing and counseling programs, reached a large number of people, giving them valuable help with their individual problems. A series of workshops next week will explore in detail the alternatives to military service and the possibility of resistance within the armed forces themselves. The Union is also valuable in maintaining communication between draft resisters, their supporters, those who enter the service, and those who emigrate to Canada. The Quincy House chapter, most particularly, has shown initiative by sending out a letter to parents of Quincy House students asking for support...
