...beginning of the nation's march toward equality?a march begun in 1954 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal"?the path was simpler to follow. It was not hard to distinguish hero from villain when President Eisenhower dispatched Screaming Eagle paratroopers to keep Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus' National Guardsmen from blocking the admittance of nine black children to Little Rock's Central High School in 1957. Nor was it hard to choose sides after viewing the twisted faces of white housewives snarling at four frightened black children trying to desegregate New Orleans...

Blacks are emerging from white schools and colleges in increasing numbers, are often eagerly sought for good jobs, and want those advantages now. The selfhelp, go-it-alone...

...Botanical Garden. Murtagh's ire was understandable. For 13 days the defendants directed streams of verbal vitriol at the bench and the prosecuting attorneys, bringing courtroom proceedings to a virtual standstill. Murtagh's solution: let the Panthers cool off in jail until they agree in writing to follow the traditional rules of courtroom decorum. He may have a long wait...
