Image Not Available for Student Pilots: Warrant officer candidates Donald Jacoby, left, and Michael Honara carry their bags towards a waiting helicopter at the end of field duty near Fort Rucker, Alabama. They are both scheduled to go out to Vietnam to serve as helicopter pilots within a few weeks, after finishing training and graduating from the Army Aviation School at Fort Rucker. The Indochina war has made the wings of the helicopter pilot a status symbol that has eclipsed the Green Beret. And the Army says it has no shortage of young men who want to become pilots, March 1971

Image Not Available for Racial prejudice is acquired, not inherited, sociologists point out. These children at a nonsegregated housing project in Washington, D.C., are growing up in an atmosphere of racial harmony, reflecting the attitudes in their parents' homes. There is no reason to believe that integration will contribute to intermarriages, the social scientists say, because experience has shown that 90% of all marriages are between people who have similar racial, social and religious backgrounds. This is one example of racial integration of a number in the nation's capital. President Eisenhower hopes Washington will became a model for the rest of the nation. Economic and social barriers against Negroes have been dropping int he wake of court rulings and organized campaigns, September 12, 1955
