Spring Upturn Hinted in 1961 U.S. Economy by Heller
Washington economist Dr. Walter Heller warned an upturn may be forming in the coming months but would mark only the start of the end of the recession. The report notes a rise in the Federal Reserve index of industrial production and signs like longer work weeks and falling unemployment, while cautioning over the scale and duration of the recovery and persistent unused productive capacity.

Direct action versus court path in desegregation
James Marlow argues the United States might not have moved faster toward desegregation if Black activists in the 1930s had pursued direct action. He cites NAACP court victories, the 1954 Brown decision, and subsequent riots, noting shifts to more militant groups and nonviolent sit-ins as alternative tactics. He claims the climate and international image made direct action less viable earlier.
