Such advances create chinks in the walls of segregation, but do not crumble them. That can be achieved only when the U.S. Negro, with the same zeal that marked his revolution in the spring of 1963, actually earns acceptance that cannot be legislated, or ordered by courts, or won in street battles. Whites-and not just Southern whites-point to high Negro crime, indigence and illegitimacy rates. Yet it may be fairly said that the Negro cannot overcome his handicaps until he is given at least his legal rights-the right to equal education, the right to vote wherever...

Curia cardinals thought his exploration of Christian unity was a danger to the faith, and openly regarded a free, unmanaged council as a threat to their authority. "They are men of zeal, I am sure," John told a friend recently. "But they are not running the church.

...theatrical notice, but he will unblinkingly refer anyone to "page 37, paragraph i of Rugger, My Life" a book by Wales's own Bleddyn Williams, the Red Grange of Rugby. "I played with a wing-forward," writes Williams, "who soon caught the eye for his general proficiency and tireless zeal. His name: Richard Burton. But it was in CinemaScope that he caught the eye after the war. A pity, because I think Richard would have made as good a wing-forward as any we have produced in Wales...
