The Albany movement faces danger as sit ins and bus strikes yield little progress for Black citizens.

Saskatchewan’s 700 doctors end their strike after a negotiated deal. The pact allows practice outside the tax funded plan and preserves private health insurers.

Mrs. Seton recounts a summer of organized camps and school enrichment for her seven children.

In Albany a conservative drive against Rockefeller and Javits falters as John Birch ties divide the Conservative Party. Pell quits the ticket.

Letter to the editor discusses how gubernatorial appointments influence education policy in Vermont.
