...then we'll go across the street and start on the public library." As in Georgia, Mississippi and Virginia, which hastily passed harsh anti-trespassing laws after the outbreak of sit-ins, Alabama's response to new Negro tactics ultimately comes to heavy-handed justice and last-resort fire hoses. If Negroes should launch an economic boycott of downtown stores, along the lines of their successful boycott of segregated buses four years ago, Montgomery's whites would hit back hard. Yet, short of closing every Negro college, the South cannot crush the challenge posed by young Negro...

One last-resort tactic: falling full-length on the huchen and smothering it in a snowbank...
...week's end President Eisenhower, visibly fatigued underneath his sun-reddened complexion, joined President Frondizi at the picturesque (and safe) resort town of Llao Llao (pronounced Zhow Zhow) in the Andes, for two days of discussion and rest. As he got ready to fly on to Santiago and Montevideo this week, Ike could almost sense the friendlier feelings his trip had created, and most Latin Americans seemed to agree with the judgment of Brazil's Kubitschek: "I am fully convinced we are now entering a new phase of understanding and cooperation with our friends and allies, the North...
