A column argues that white fear of losing sympathy over civil rights protests masks broader indifference to Negro suffering. It questions whether polite protest would have prevented violence and recalls brutal acts against African Americans, urging unified action beyond traffic disruptions.
In New York and on the Pacific Coast northern white reaction to Negro action grows. A Seattle vote rejected a real estate discrimination ban by two to one, while New York sees protests over de facto school segregation and a large Parents and Taxpayers Movement rallying 15,000. The piece argues white majority concern, school quality, and the need for bold but practical justice to avoid a collision.
Ornithologists warn pigeons carry disease amid Cyprus Viet Nam and Cuba crises. Cities from New York to Paris confront pest control, with nets poison grain and city laws, while districts like Venice Rome and London show mixed responses. The piece blends satire on pigeon politics with anecdotes of hobbyists, insurers, and a Bronx High School student’s science prize.
