...young. The 900 conference delegates in Newark, most of them in their 20s, whooped their approval of resolutions that called for, among other things: an investigation of the possible separation of the U.S. into distinct black and white countries (which curiously suggests the South African divisions of apartheid); a boycott of all sports by Negro athletes; and a protest against birth-control clinics on the grounds that they represent a white conspiracy to eradicate the black race...

The Arab strategy is having virtually no effect on either the U.S. or Israel.*The U.S. had been getting less than 3% of its oil from Arab states. Israel, of course, never got any-that is, not until three Egyptian oilfields in the Sinai fell into Israeli hands during...
