...heat, they are piled up high vertically and the light then hits vertically and the light then hits them at different angles. They look like massive sand castles, and elephants, and horses, and lobsters floating through the sky. Every day like that. Then late in the afternoon, big blue-gray storms start coming up over the delta from the Gulf of Mexico. Then there's thunder and lightning all over the place. Water running down the roof and into your ear. Rain filling up our top down MG until you can float toy boats...
...other districts where desegregation sits uneasily in token form. Though Montgomery buses are technically integrated, the city's other public facilities still are not. Team sports are still carefully segregated in a large number of Southern institutions; the NBC television network recently canceled coverage of the annual Blue-Gray football game because Negroes are not eligible to participate.

A very tiny, slender mite, even smaller than a chickadee, blue-gray above and whitish below . . . long, contrastingly colored tail." It migrates through the whole of Texas, winters in the southern part, breeds in the northern. The black-tailed gnatcatcher has "less white on tail." Among the robin's maculate cousins, "the reddish tail is the hermit thrush's mark." The deadpan statement, "red eye is of little aid," has nothing to do with liquor but refers...
...Tutored by Slingin' Sammy Baugh, past master of passing, and apparently unbothered by eyeglasses as thick as welders' goggles, Hardin-Simmons' Quarterback Ken Ford took a team of Southerners into the Blue-Gray game in Montgomery, completed twelve of 23 tosses and beat the North...
