...much for many readers who wrote to the papers to complain; some made the obvious point that Sirhan Sirhan probably thought that he was employing violence to "put down evil." Some editors reacted as strongly as readers. As soon as he got a glimpse of the offending Tracyism, Donald Brazier, assistant managing editor of the Seattle Times, had it chipped from the printing plate. The Los Angeles Times ran a sampling of some 100 letters it had received criticizing the strip, then added that it "joins in condemning any endorsement of the spirit of violence and any extra-legal...

(Socalled "charcoal-broiled" steaks at restaurants have been cooked with gas-heated briquettes for years.) About...

"A lot of people," says Chicago's Negro Baptist Minister Arthur Brazier, "are re-examining their motives.
