...York Mayor John Lindsay. "I'm a civil engineer, an expert in building and rebuilding," Gibson says. "I will make my appointments solely on one issue -not race but quality." Gibson, a calm, thorough if not charismatic campaigner, gets clear approval as he moves through the black ward where he lives with a "Hey, brother, what's happening?" But one measure of Gibson's problem on the white hustings is the sentiment represented by the supporters of Anthony Imperiale, a white militant who came to prominence at the head of a vigilante group after the 1967 riot...
...Harvard. Much of the difference is built into the structure of the dorms. In the old brick buildings like Briggs, where I have dwelled for over a month now, there are no living rooms. Bedrooms are arranged in rows along corridors, much like those in an expensive psychiatric ward. To visit someone, one must be in a bedroom where the owner of the room is clearly in the dominant social position. In Harvard living rooms, all are equal and more at case...
...only open comment was: "Well, Arthur is independent, you know." Nixon, however, has respected Burns' advice since they served together in the Eisenhower Administration. In his book, Six Crises, Nixon relates how Burns early in 1960 urged him to propose a loosening of money and budget policies to ward off a recession. Nixon did so, but the proposal was rejected.

The pole position, on the inside of the first row, goes to the fastest qualifier on the first Saturday of qualifications. In pre-qualifying practice sessions Ruby's had been among the fastest cars, and he was a favorite...
...Ward continued. "But, I know that you'll be back tomorrow, running as fast as you can, to get the best qualifying position that you can." With that Ward poked the microphone under Ruby's face. In three out of the past four 500's Ruby had had victory in sight, only to fall victim to some unlikely mechanical failure. His luck at Indy has been on the under side of average. He just stood there, scuffing his foot on the asphalt. Finally, he turned to face Ward. "It just doesn't matter, now," he said softly. "We're going...
