...bombings of Little Rock's school board offices, the mayor's business office and the fire chief's city-owned station wagon (TIME, Sept. 21). "Don't let New York or Chicago or TIME Magazine tell you what to do in this case," cried the attorney before the all-white jury...
CIVIL RIGHTS To the Roots Attorney General William P. Rogers, heavily occupied with civil rights legalisms during his two-year tenure, last week angrily tongue-lashed the Mississippi grand jury that ignored evidence uncovered by the FBI after the lynching of Mack Charles Parker last April (TIME, Nov. 16).

Attorney General (later Governor) James Allred spotted Freshman Legislator Anderson as a promising young man, lifted him out of the legislature to serve as assistant attorney general.

NBC reluctantly went on a diet, forthwith decided to cut out all Regimen commercials...
...wrappers, baffled poll takers and battled all the harder when downed by defeat. "Wild Bill'' Langer was a hired farm hand at 15, a lawyer at 20, a Columbia University liberal arts graduate at 24, a county prosecutor at 28. Defeated for Governor in 1920 and for attorney general in 1928, he ran again in 1932, won the governorship, then got nabbed for conspiracy (forcing federal workers to contribute to his campaign) and was jailed. He defied the court that disqualified him as Governor, won his appeals but lost the G.O.P. 1936 primary, ran successfully as an independent...
