Fuchsberg said his plan had been suggested to about 100 law schools, of which 20 expressed an interest in the plan, including Southern Methodist, Stanford, Boston University. Harvard was not among the schools responding. "The best schools," Fuchsberg asserted, "have produced a good deal of writing in the law journals on the subject, but little else...
...quandary at the Methodist General Conference in Pittsburgh last May was when and how to integrate the all-Negro Central Jurisdiction. Being separate-but-equal, the Central Jurisdiction gave position and status to Negro clergymen, some of whom feared loss of jobs and rank if it were abolished.

Integration in Dallas. Two regional Methodist conferences made ecclesiastical history a fortnight ago by naming Negro bishops to head predominantly white areas. In Cleveland, delegates to a Midwest meeting voted 370 to 0 to incorporate Negro churches and pastors, and assigned Bishop James S. Thomas, 45, to head the Iowa area.

A few days earlier, in the Northeast, white Methodists also accepted Negro churches into their jurisdiction and appointed Bishop Prince Taylor Jr. of Baltimore to head...

Bombings and burnings seem fashionable in Mississippi nowadays. Recently, churches at Brandon, Ruleville, Clinton and Hattiesburg have been either damaged or destroyed by fire or bombs; a Negro home in McComb has been bombed, and the N.A.A.C.P. meeting place...
