On a warm July day neighborhood children play in a patrol car. At another time, an officer reminisced about wintry midnight tours, about the isolation he felt in the patrol car. Night after night he drove the same streets saw the same drunks, homeless ones, addicts, whom he had to move on, clearing the street. He had his anxieties. What, he wondered, would he do if one night they were gone? Whom would he talk to?, from the series "Police Work"

I've taught several of the Red Cross Child Education courses. They are open to the general public and they are free. It takes courage for people to say I don't know how to take care of a new born infant. In six lessons, I teach them about pregnancy, labor, delivery, nutrition of the mother and newborn, the first week of life, and growth and development in the first year. Most people leave the course with confidence to become effective parents. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California,

Scores of pickets marched through the Loop in silent procession Friday in protest over the fatal beating of the Reverend James Reeb in Selma, Alabama. They were led by six men bearing a gray mock coffin, which was labeled with a sign: "God-- go South." Demonstrators carried other cardboard signs. By the time the demonstrators reached the Federal Building, the procession had grown to nearly 90 people, about half Negro and half white.
