...integration is an important question, for none can apply the concept of community responsibility to the "colored folk" in town. If Negro housing threatens the health of all of Chestertown's citizens, for example, it is still up to the Negro to improve his conditions: "You have your own grey ladies at the hospital. Why can't they do something to teach your people proper hygiene?" It is useless to argue with this sort of statement. Not even the most liberal white leader can imagine a time when he will have to consider the Negro as a member...
Older white men, accustomed to a calmer, more paternal relationship with their dusky charges, often talk more frankly. Chestertown's chief health officer is a grey-haired, cigar-smoking migrant from the deeper South: neither his accent nor his words suggest the compromise with Northern ways that one finds among even the most inflexible natives of Chestertown...
...week played host to the grandeur that is Charles de Gaulle. French Sûreté agents flew in ahead of time to go over the dossiers of resident foreigners and eye new arrivals at Hellenikon airport.

More prudently, Greece's Premier Constantine Karamanlis had his own blood typed...

For that gulf cannot be bridged by law alone; the law can furnish a foundation upon which Negroes can build to achieve their rights, but it cannot provide education, or cure...

Through the holes of the outer facade peeks a structure drawn with a Mondrian ruler in a rectilinear austerity of charcoal grey, white and glass. Suspended over the stairs and lobbies are globes of light, a child's army of upside-down lollipops. The stage itself juts forward like a mammoth home plate with a blunted tip, while a rear portico of four columns supports an upper platform. Around this arena stage sweeps a C-arc of 200°. some...
