...Greater Newark Chamber of Commerce and the city's entire business community are deeply shocked at the indictment today of Mayor Addonizio, three members of the city council and other officials...
Although the battle over the Whitten amendment is ended-this year-the war goes on. Southern Congressmen are concentrating their fire on what Mississippi's Senator John Stennis refers to as the "sectional policy of forcing greater integration on the South than is actually practiced in many Northern cities." Stennis believes, probably rightly, that "if this pattern is enforced outside the South, it will bring about a more modified policy." He is contemplating legislation that would create an automatic presumption of illegal segregation wherever minority groups account for more than 50% of a school's enrollment. The result...
...courtly love. But it took the cleverness of Baldassare Castiglione, a 16th century popularizer of Platonic love treatises, to humanize the conceit for sophisticated courtiers.

In effect, Castiglione legitimized bedroom eyes and sweet nothings. But at a higher level, he encouraged women...

By properly aligning their millions and carefully timing the jump, for example, Peking could aim a ground wave along the Pacific-rim earthquake belt and possibly set off quakes in California far more devastating than the original shocks in China...
