Where I have seen an ideal of a fellowship both divided and united by the memory of its painful past and thus enabled to teach the future by recalling that past, others have seen a dastardly plot to rehabilitate the lost cause of the south, or to affirm in the present the subtle and not-so-subtle racist ideology of a society that has not yet reconciled itself to its citizens of color. This present discourse is complicated by the fact that while it would appear to be about unhealed wounds between the north and the south, it is really...
...terribly false assumption is that African Americans are either unwilling or unable to engage in discourse about affirmative action. As graduate students of political science, we understand and affirm the necessity for a legitimate and timely examination of this issue in addition to a long overdue examination of America's will to racial justice. As engaged members of this intellectual community, we affirm each individual's claim to intellectual freedom and dissent.

California then enacted its own 26 degree standard, but the Broiler Council went to court and won. Federal rules, said a frustrated U.S. appeals court, pre-empt state laws. "We affirm this absurdity," the judges wrote. "Congress has given federal bureaucrats the power to order that frozen chickens be labeled fresh." The Clinton Administration promised to review the issue promptly. That pledge, as an internal USDA memo reveals, was little more than a public-relations exercise designed to cover an "embarrassing" policy that "puts the USDA in the position of being anti-consumer." A press release was issued in February...
