...explore Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev's call for NATO to "taste the wine" of Russian intentions on mutual force reductions in Central Europe-or, as NATO prefers to call it, Mutual and Balanced Force Reductions.* Two weeks ago, President Nixon and the Soviets agreed on a framework for proceeding with Strategic Arms Limitation Talks covering both defensive and offensive weapons. Last week, SALT negotiators wound up their fourth round of talks in Vienna (they will reconvene in Helsinki in July) on what one U.S. observer called "a substantially positive note...
...legal framework that propped up, then demolished dual schools is rote to Southerners: Plessy, Brown, Alexander, and last month's busing decision Swann. Georgia was the first Southern state blanketed with a statewide court order to dismantle its separate school systems. Elaborate evasions were constructed at each step and today, though desegregated on paper, circumventions continue. Private academies were established by parents who could afford to buy segregation.

KING'S personal reporting, of course, is always blended in to the larger framework: the rich social detail and history of his generation and environments. Interwoven with the confessions are the harsh facts of the repressive policies of the pre-Korea army he served in, the small town Chamber-of-Commerce-controlled newspapers he worked for, the college he briefly attended, the government he eventually became a part of. It was only as an administrative assistant to a couple of Texas congressmen that King completed his development as a civil rights liberal. In the Nation's Capital, he came across...
