Trouble erupted first in Paterson, a city of 146,000 people (one-sixth of them Negroes), when a pack of carousing teen-agers in the slum Fourth Ward began pelting passing police cars with bottles and rocks. Soon hundreds of Negroes were racing through the streets, smashing windows and hurling debris at police. Almost simultaneously, 20 miles south of Paterson, hit-and-run bombers in Elizabeth, a city of 110,000 people (with 20,000 Negroes), pitched Molotov cocktails into three taverns. Before long, hundreds of Negroes were flinging bottles and bricks from rooftops and street corners...
...began when police were called to Ward F, a slum-ridden and low-income-housing area that is home to most of Jersey City's 47,000 Negroes. They arrested a Negro woman for drunkenness, also took into custody a Negro man for interfering with the arrest. Almost instantly there mushroomed a rumor that the police had beaten the woman.

Hard News. Schechner has won such praise by putting into his magazine something most literary editors overlook-hard news.

Though Tulane University provides a New Orleans office and financial...

On the ground was a tire iron that had apparently come from his nearby car. The cops arrested Wood ward for attempted burglary. But there were no fingerprints on the tire iron, and Woodward stoutly denied the charge. How to build a case? Answer: "radiation fingerprints," a new scientific crime detector that makes Sherlock Holmes look like Deputy Dawg...
Before his death three years ago, Eero Saarinen traveled a long way to ward an architecture far beyond the glass-and-steel purism that seemed the ultimate in construction a decade ago. His Yale colleges are mounds of masonry; his Dulles airport terminal is canopied concrete; his CBS building a granite monument in great triangular piers. His headquarters (see opposite page) for Deere & Co., makers of farm machinery, returns to glass and steel-used in an utterly original...
