...housewife in the Titusville neighborhood points out four whiskey houses in the block-long alley behind her home. What must be the largest Negro shoe-shine stand in the state does a brisk business in liquor. A factory worker estimates that there are 20 whiskey houses in a 12-block area around his plant. A hippie who works as a part-time mail clerk for an insurance firm prefers four smaller houses near the sprawling University of Alabama Medical Center -- they have juke boxes. But as for reliable estimates of the total number, one Negro professional man who, like...
Rarely are sociological ideas so rapidly translated from print into action, but then Transaction is no ordinary sociological publication. Written in brisk English, it examines such diverse material as mental hospitals, college sororities, and flying-saucer watchers. It was founded by Alvin W. Gouldner, 46, professor of sociology at St. Louis' Washington University, who was anxious to convey the findings of the social sciences to a wider public. Financed by the university, the magazine, which sells for 75?, has reached a circulation of 21,000; in November, it will convert from a bimonthly to a monthly...

A Barrington fisherman summarized the surprise of many who are approached by the colonel: "I heard about this colonel, but I didn't know she was no dame...
...This brisk, absorbing account of her experiences is anything but the sentimental memoir of sweet Charity. The children were often neurotic and always rebellious of any authority. German Jews looked down on Polish Jews; Orthodox Jews looked down on liberal Jews; French Jews looked down on everyone. Author Blackstock even had to fight antiChristianism among her Jewish confreres, who warily wondered why a goy should take an interest in their problems. She may have wondered herself when one orphanage director asked her, on Christmas Eve, to address the children on the meaning of Christmas, and then followed her talk with...
