Editorial on Civil Rights Progress Since 1954
The piece argues that the 1954 Supreme Court ruling ended legal segregation in public schools and signaled a broader challenge to all forms of discrimination. It traces decades of legal strategy by the NAACP, noting limited victories until the 1954 triumph, and predicts intensified Negro agitation and ongoing demands for civil rights legislation. It cites Jefferson's caution and notes rising violence and national concern over the struggle for equality across North and South publics.

First, a probe into the Council for a Liveable World led by Leo Szilard, funded to sway midcentury politics and disarmament policy, with Senate campaigns and alleged State Department involvement. Second, Army Captain Alfred Svenson’s defection to East Germany, his refugee background, and conflicting explanations, leaving questions about motive and loyalties.

Know Your Bridge By B. JAY BECKER
South dealer North ATEs and West East cards show a playful rubber bridge scene after the World Bridge Olympiad in Turin 1960. A casual game among top players ends with a 4 spades by visual bidding, five hearts by West, five spades by North, and South going down two. The anecdote highlights fatigue after 12 days of tournament play and the lighter stakes of rubber bridge.
