...city (pop. 185,000) had 90 policemen on special alert to quell any trouble that might break out. At some schools, it seemed at times as if the cops might be needed. Groups of white adults and teenagers wearing "Keep Our White Schools White" buttons passed out racist handbills, and a few people noisily heckled grey-haired School Superintendent William Bass as he toured possible trouble spots ("Why do you let niggers come to our white schools?") But beyond that, 13 little Negroes were allowed, more or less in peace, to register in five of 15 newly desegregated elementary schools...
Presidential Break. Senator Russell had assigned himself the most exacting and perhaps the most surprising role of all: any harsh words that had to be spoken would be spoken not by Georgia's cowlicked Talmadge, not by Mississippi's Racist Jim Eastland, but by Richard Brevard Russell himself. It was understood without words that a diatribe from a Talmadge or an Eastland would predictably get lost, as usual, in the Senate swirl; but if it came from reasonable, respected Dick Russell, a sharp blast would be heard with respectful attention.

Racist South Africa's Strydom refused to come for "personal reasons" which many ascribed to an unwillingness to sit down with-or to be photographed with-the new nation of Ghana's Negro P.M., Kwame Nkrumah. New Zealand's Sidney Holland was laid up with a slipped disk. Ceylon...
...Even in racist South Africa, a whole tribe cannot be uprooted without due process of law. Faced with such tedious proceedings, Minister Verwoerd let it be known that the 410 families of the tribe were themselves quite ready and willing to go. But when Verwoerd's trucks arrived last week, the Mamatola refused to budge. Standing barefoot in a faded green sweater among his councilors, the aging chief of the tribe gazed about him helplessly.
