They deal with civil rights (Lillian Smith: ""The Changing Heart of the South,"" Kenneth B. Clark: ""Black and White: The Ghetto Inside"" etc.); civil liberties (two Murrow sequences, Edmond Cahn on ""Can the Supreme Court Defend Civil Liberties?"". John Keats: ""Conformity""); public welfare (Keyserling, Galbraith, Harrington, Wirtz); foreign affairs (Theodore H. White from Fire in the Ashes, Kennan, Cousins, Stevenson, Commager: ""How Not to be a World Power""). Sturdy.
