...District school boards must refer all Negro applications for white schools to a three-man state pupil-placement board, which can reject them on any basis except color. ("We had to figure out a defense that was based on anything but race," Lindsay Almond once explained. "You see, that would be going against the Supreme Court decision.") The pupil-placement law has already been swept aside in some federal court districts...
...came to Boyd, 28 miles north of Fort Worth, in the beefy person of hard-boiled Lee Cockrell, onetime stockyard worker and volunteer fireman, who was named chief of the town's three-man police force. Cockrell stopped the hot-rodders all right. He wrote as many as 80 traffic tickets in one day, used his ever-handy blackjack on some fresh guys who talked back.

...winners (see color page), unanimously chosen by a three-man jury:* first prize ($1,500), Manhattan Abstractionist John Ferren, 52, for his The Birches; second ($750), Social Realist Semyon Shimin, 55, for his Discussion Groups-Rome, sketched in Rome during the 1956 elections but finished in Manhattan; and third ($250), Milton Goldring, 40, also a New Yorker, for his Shadow and Substance.

The man who became President of the Council of State, General Najeeb el-Rubaiya, was out of the country at the time; he was Iraq's Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. By 6 a.m. the radio was trumpeting: "Citizens of Baghdad, the Monarchy is dead! The Republic is here!" Only one thing remained to be done: find Iraq...
...first word crackled from the radios of Cairo, Damascus and Baghdad. The word: an army junta had overthrown the government and set up a three-man "sovereignty council" led by a little-known army general, Abdel Karim Kassem. From the Baghdad Radio, rechristened "Free Iraq Radio," and Nasser's announcers in Egypt and Syria, came sketchy details, whose authenticity had to be measured against the plotters' desire to stir further panic. Broadcasts said that the junta had seized the capital city before dawn, that wispy Crown Prince Abdul Illah, uncle of the young King, had been assassinated...
