The piece notes rioting, white opposition, and fatigue with reform, arguing that law and order are essential to progress and urging restraint from extremists on both sides.
The piece discusses the murder of 21 year old Valerie Percy at her parents home described as the murder of the century. A doctor suspects a sex fiend and mental derangement while noting the killer was familiar with the locale.
