...instantly cold-shouldered by most of the delegates, who realize that though federation is a fine hope for the future, it cannot work now. The grand items on the agenda promised the customary condemnation of Africa's remaining white-dominated nations, a pledge to tighten the existing boycott on the Union of South Africa, and plenty of high-flown words on the benefits of pulling together...
...their continuing cold war with Israel, the 20 nations of the Arab world since 1951 have imposed an economic boycott not only on Israeli goods but on all those who deal with or help Israel economically. Through a central boycott office in Damascus and 18 regional offices throughout the Arab world, the Arabs have blacklisted more than 600 firms, including 167 U.S. companies (among them Revlon, General Tire and Bulova Watch).

Lucas Beauchamp catches to perfection the abrasive, unbending independence of a man like James Meredith, who integrated the University of Mississippi three months after Faulkner's death...
...First, we must continue and extend the free world economic boycott of Cuba. We have failed in communicating the seriousness of our purpose to our European allies and in enlisting their cooperation. We need to establish far better cooperative measures of passport and personnel surveillance at the ports and borders of other Latin American countries to control the stream of subversive activity which now flows like poison out of Cuba...
