On balance, the sexual picture seems to be brightening -especially in the U.S. Dr. Levine thinks that "frigidity as a major problem for American women will disappear in the foreseeable future."

The feds were willing to let Wallace put up his farcical show-for a while. Wallace wanted to avoid a long stretch in jail-and the Administration, bent on stirring up as little political resentment as possible in the South, desperately wanted to keep him out of jail. In first confronting Wallace, the Administration team thoughtfully kept the Negro students out of the way, inside automobiles parked well away from...
