...sparked the bitterly successful 1956 bus boycott (TIME, Dec. 31, 1956), city fathers sold off the last animals in the Oak Park Zoo four months after a U.S. district court ruled that segregation in the park was unconstitutional. The animal sale marked the end of Montgomery's park system, left the city's 45,000 Negro and white children without a public swimming pool, tennis court or woodland glade...

What emerged was a political system based on the ancient institution of the village panchayat (council of elders). Each council, with elected as well as appointed representatives, will represent 10,000 people. Working without salaries, council members will be expected to levy local taxes, maintain roads, operate police forces, register births and deaths, and handle some...
