...rather grandly described as a case of the Negro's looking to himself for salvation-and there discovering strengths that he never knew he possessed. There is indeed evidence that black pride is nourishing the new Negro's determination to take over his own destiny and accept no definition of blackness but his own. This kind of Negro is not antiwhite; he is pro-black. As one direct consequence of his attitude, America's most visible minority is more visible than ever.

(But the credit-card companies may try to recover from a cardholder who has not informed them of a loss or theft.) The issuers are therefore understandably anxious to find heavier legal weapons to use against credit crooks, and they are now actively promoting new legislation...
