...Koster, the Americal Division commander, who is now superintendent at West Point. It seems likely that the full Peers report will not be released and that no other trials will be held until after Calley's court-martial, which is now set for May 18 at Fort Benning, Ga...
Undeterred by an unseasonal dusting of snow, Emperor Hirohito and several other members of the imperial family trooped into their private box last week as the strains of Kimi-ga-yo, Japan's national anthem, wafted over the Senri Hills near Osaka. While multicolored flags and paper cranes swirled about them in the brisk breezes, cannons boomed a five-gun salute and a 100-piece orchestra blared Fanfare of the 21st Century, a piece specially written by composer Masaru Sato. Then two giant robots clanked into Festival Plaza, disgorging 110 members of a children's band who launched...

In Fayette, Miss., black Mayor Charles Evers found uses for the new adversity. "Black people can fight better when they are pressured...
Blacks sometimes oppose integration for down-to-earth reasons of practicality and pride. In Fulton County, Ga., black parents protested a decision to close the six-year-old, $850,000 Eva Thomas High School and spread its all-black student body among four white high schools. Reasons: the school is unusually well equipped and its teachers were proud of having one of the highest college-entry rates in the Atlanta area. Carroll High School parents in Monroe, La., objected to downgrading the all-black school to ninth grade only. Carroll recently built a 4,000-seat stadium...
