“RACE RIOTS. Negro veterans who hav risked their lives for their country in the Vietnam jungles are beginning to come home. They are in no mood to be pushed around by white landlords. Television has also brought a picture of a better world into the Negro ghettos. And the people of the slums, like the middle classes at who the commercials are beamed, want what they see. There is small chance that their demands can be met. Moderate Negro leaders are urging their people to stay out of the streets and bring their grievances to the conference table. But privately, they fear it may not be possible to head off further race violence.”
