Crippled as it is, Paterson cannot solve its own problems. Urban renewal, the blind arm of the federal bureaucracy, cannot save it--Kramer's experience with HUD, which Norwood documents, demonstrates the insensitivity of federal aid to cities. But revenue sharing, which put money in the hands of the people who have already failed to manage the city, is not the answer either. We leave Paterson in confusion, clinging, like Sam Patch, to a belief in the spirit of a city that has persevered...
That is precisely what Foreman did. In the sultry tropical night (the temperature was 86° and the humidity about 90%), Foreman's punches soon lost power. Arm weary, he began to swing wildly, frequently missing entirely, spinning around on his own momentum like a worn-out drunk. Ali took advantage of Foreman's slack defense by springing off the ropes time after time to jolt the bone-tired champ with lightning combinations to the head...
...very anonymity that allows him to pursue his chosen field. Recently, in his own Manhattan Ping Pong parlor, Reisman greeted a player who had journeyed uptown to knock off the old pro in Billy the Kid style.

We would do well to remember Jackson State, Texas Southern, South Carolina State, Southern, et. al., because they carry a message for us: to administrators and officials, black or white, who see their vested interest as being in the continued propagation of the ideologies of racism...
Most of us scarcely use words at all, tending to make our needs known to each other through inflection, gesture, and yelling. At work we signal each other with arm and hand motions, with bells, and by banging on the iron with wrenches, because the noisiness of a construction site precludes ordinary speech, and most of us, after spending a few years alongside air compressors, jack hammers, unmuffled donkey engines, and welding machines, are deaf anyway...
