...various business relations from laborers to managers and I have never seen them treated so inconsiderately or disrespectfully. The present explosive conditions existing in the" South are not normal, and the pity of it is that our friends in the rest of the country who seek understanding of the problem are denied the benefit of our views...
Last week Jack Kennedy proved beyond doubt in the Wisconsin primary (see following story) that an attractive, hard-campaigning Catholic candidate can count on a powerful Catholic vote that cuts across labor-union loyalties, the farm problem, and even-to a lesser extent-party lines. By proving it, Kennedy lifted the Catholic issue out of the murk of religious innuendo into the arena of discussion, where it can be debated as a political fact of life. He cleared the air of the polite nonsense that talk of his Catholicism is bigotry-or that for a Protestant to vote against...
...more sophisticated. World War II showed how difficult it was to stop attacking planes; no U.S. bombing raid was ever beaten back, and the worst loss rate suffered by the German Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain was 8% per mission.

Denied an outlet for their grievances through normal political channels, 400,000 peasants last week turned out across the length and breadth of France in protest demonstrations. In the Breton town of Quimper, farmers in clogs, smocks and broad-brimmed...
...white hunters, New York Zoological Society President Fairfield Osborn had words of cautious cheer last week. Just back with his wife Marjorie from a wildlife-conservation survey of British East Africa, Big Gamester Osborn, who hunts strictly with a camera, reported: "While poaching continues to be a very serious problem, there is a growing awareness among African leaders that big game is a prime tourist attraction and must be saved." His prediction : the U.N. will soon be establishing game sanctuaries all over the world as "longterm assets in all countries...
