You could see the words settle in the crowd's bellies; 25,000 satisfied customers packing New York City's Madison Square Garden last Monday night to hear Minister Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, bring his dual message of self-help and hate.

Carty, the 1970 National League batting champion who played nine years for the Braves, remembers he ate chicken for three months because he did not know enough English to ask for anything else.
