Founded by white and Negro social workers and philanthropists only a year after the N.A.A.C.P., the league's first job was to help the Negro migrants who were just beginning to pour from the fields of the South into the big cities of the North. Starting with a budget of $8,500, it provided travelers' aid, trained Negro social workers, conducted studies of social and economic condi tions among Negroes in the cities...

Philadelphia has a quick-reaction force of patrolmen on duty during the critical hours from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. With on-call buses, the department can pour 500 men-plus four-man anti-sniper teams-into any trouble area in minutes.

Smoking meant le smoking, French for dinner jacket, and nearly all the girls, falling in with a trend started by Designer Yves St. Laurent last year, showed up looking like either Marlene Dietrich or a headwaiter. Well, almost. Certainly no one would have taken Singer Francoise Hardy, 23, for a captain. Still, the men in the crowd at the Moulin Rouge party seemed more fascinated by the barely clad dancers onstage...
