Finally there were the unkindest cuts of all-from the Negro press, resentful of Davis' growing reputation for all-night all-white parties. "Howcum we never see Sammy Davis hangin' on the corner up here?" ran the cartoon in a Harlem paper. "You crazy...
Dean K. Whitla, director of the Office of Tests, said that "we expect the public school group to outperform, and they do. If academic standing were the only criterion, we should take more public school students. But it isn't: we wouldn't want to admit nothing but "summa" candidates...
