...bore witness most passionately in The Fire Next Time (1963), in which he declared that he was determined "never to make my peace with the ghetto but to die and go to Hell before I would let any white man spit on me, before I would accept my 'place' in this republic." He also proclaimed there his skepticism about the value of being "integrated into a burning house." And that, as Detroit and Newark soon showed, was what was coming next time. "White people in this country," he wrote, "will have quite enough to do in learning how to accept...
...foreign backer: the U.S. In one well-coordinated 15-minute burst of violence, pistol-wielding assassins killed two active-duty U.S. service members, a retired U.S. sergeant and a Filipino businessman. The attacks occurred within three miles of Clark Air Base, the largest overseas U.S. Air Force facility. All bore the signature of the N.P.A.'s sparrow-unit death squads, so called for their small size and great mobility.

Beginning the second half, 49ers Coach Bill Walsh inserted a running quarterback and abruptly...
Since the early days of the AIDS epidemic, researchers have reasoned that a handful of people -- maybe even a single individual -- bore the unknowing responsibility for having introduced the disease to North America and its first large group of victims, the homosexual community. By tracing sexual contacts, officials at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta in 1982 found a likely candidate: one man who, through his sexual liaisons and those of his bedmates, could be linked to nine of the first 19 cases in Los Angeles, 22 cases in New York City and nine more in eight other cities...
