...seven other Negro civil rights leaders for defying an Alabama state court injunction against a civil rights march in Birmingham. King, whose group had been denied a parade license by burly "Bull" Connor, then Birmingham's commissioner of public safety, was sentenced by an Alabama court to a five-day jail term and $50 fine for carrying out the march despite the restraining order. Reviewing the case, the Supreme Court majority took the position that King could have appealed the injunction and might have won the right to march; instead he chose to defy the law. Wrote Justice Potter...
...four-day seminars on such subjects as organic evolution, manuscript study and the changing world of scholarship, films as 20th century art. Harvard, which has set aside one day of its reunions for intellectual activity for ten years now, is offering grads two "university symposia"-one on Asia and the U.S. future moderated by former Presidential Assistant Adam Yarmolinsky, another on student careers, at which one lecturer will be Sociologist David Riesman. At nearby M.I.T., the alumni reunion features management seminars on industrial relations, corporate financial policies and market planning. The Amherst reunion is now, in effect, a five-day...

...Marines who sloshed through 18 inches of water without any special protection, five developed immersion foot, and four had to be evacuated after three days. Only one made it through the five-day trial. The other 55 smeared the silicone grease on their feet every 24 hours; some of them also wore silicone-treated socks. Of these men, not one had to drop out because of immersion foot; only six of them developed it, and theirs were mild cases...
...much a myth at Radcliffe as it is in the Johnson administration. Like RGA's inoperative Committee on the Fourth House, the newly-appointed committee may discuss specific details of the house system. It may in fact recommend that some of the 23 girls who went on a five-day hunger strike be allowed to move into apartments, which would at least make those people happy...
