Only by grasping the "enormity of the offense" and of the pressure on the young, Fallows adds, can you understand why what everyone did then--on both sides--was "so extreme and so unreasonable...sounded harsh, inhuman, bitter and wrong and cruel...irrational...
What the hell is the matter with you Americans? Here is a man who has got Arabs talking with the Jews, capitalists with the two Communist powers, and now bitter blacks with uncompromising whites in South Africa. The man is amazing.

Another internecine war-Daley's futile attempt to oust black Representative Ralph Metcalfe from Congress-has provided Thompson with a bonanza: angry Metcalfe backers now serve as volunteers for the former prosecutor. A Hewlett snub...
