...opening of the second act signals that it is 1938, and the Nazis have already declared Jews to be "subjects" in the new Aryan kingdom. A 26-year old Hannah is escaping from Austria to Venice with a young Jewish baker named Daniel. As the story progresses, the audience comes to the realization that Hannah and Daniel are the two actors performing Mr. Mulgrave's biography, and that Daniel in particular is none other than the employer himself. Filled with grief and remorse, Mulgrave reflects back on his decision to flee to Palestine, leaving behind Hannah and their unborn child...
...with a modern one, that of the New South. In Jasper, which is 55% white and 45% black, the New South is embodied in a black mayor and a white sheriff, both of whom came swiftly forward to declare the attack an isolated, containable hate crime. "We have no Aryan Nation or K.K.K. in Jasper County," said Sheriff Billy Rowles. Mayor R.C. Horn reinforced the notion: "We don't show any animosity here. This town has been about loving each other.

An ex-general of the Aryan Brotherhood sniffed that his group would never have recruited petty thieves...

Luckily, most conspirators get caught before their plans come to fruition. Banks are an easier target. The Aryan Republican Army managed to rob 22 of them to finance their activities. As Potok says, ?Creating a second American revolution costs money.? Then again, plotting to bomb an IRS building is one heck of a way to land yourself an audit...
Black Grape's endearing range of tropes and narrowness of tone would be hypocritical if it did not offend. The album cover features an almost sambo-like purple face, and the inside artwork is a melange of Aunt Jemima figures, smiling Aryan face and blonde hour glass cartoons. "Marbles" opens with the dub of a righteous gospel preacher: "A whistling woman...is an abomination to the lord" and leads into the chorus "Why you say yes when you know you mean no?," playing on current sexual protocol. Of course of few in the crowd might even take issue with...
