...nights after his words first focused the confrontation between my students and me--two nights into "no-man's land"--I dreamed I went to the elderly black woman who came each week to clean my childhood home, and we embraced and wept together for the sadness of an affluent family in the suburbs. That won't get me very far with most blacks, and Dan and the rest of the class will probably never hear about...
...grounds are surrounded by a meandering stream and the homes of the affluent and there is nothing in the area that can be compared with it. And each year a few promising students from poor neighborhoods in Detroit are given scholarships to attend, so that perhaps some day they can live in the homes that one sees from the ampitheater...

Inflation is now running at a rate of about 300% a year, and even the affluent middle class is living from day to day on rapidly dwindling buying power. Terrorism from both the right and left has claimed more than 1,500 lives since Juan Perón's death in July...
