Wright and his colleagues are an interesting breed of minister--Negro or otherwise. Like the Catholic priests of Chicago who once engaged in labor-union organizing, these men have mulled over the position of the black poor and American power relations, the complexities of both, and have what can only be described as a "hard-nosed," or "bread-and-butter" approach...
...many of them were Beatleologists. Whereas the Beatlemaniac drowned out the Beatles with cathartic squeals, the Beatleologist listens so carefully that he can hear Ringo singing submarine in the third verse on the mono record, but clubmarine on the stereo. Beatleologists, in varying degrees of erudition, are the new breed of Beatles fan, and they may make the Beatles more contemplated than Buddha...
...Shakespeare wrote, "sailors but men." He was obviously a landlubber. Never in U.S. history have so many men gone down to the sea (or lake, or river) in ships (or boats)-and whether they sail a 13-ft. Blue Jay or a 70-ft. offshore racer, they are a breed apart. West Coast fanatics get their kicks out of racing dinky, 8-ft. El Toros around treacherous San Francisco Bay, where a 20-knot wind is just air conditioning. Wintertime "frostbite" racing in tiny dinghies (6ft. to 14-ft. cockleshells with sails) is all the rage on the Great Lakes...

And this rare breed, in the person of Joel Lazar, is what confronted the eighty players and three dozen singers assembled on the Sanders stage last evening. Yet, despite the brevity of their acquaintance with him, those who were bowing and blowing and crowing seemed to have readily overcome being nonplussed by a baton brandished in the let hand...
...order generation which still remembers the ghettos and prison camps of Europe is quickly being displaced by a new breed-- the "Sabras." Sabra is a particularly apt description of the native Israeli because literally translated it means "fruit of the cactus"-- tough on the outside but tender on the inside. The Sabras are not as worried about world opinion as their fathers were; they have recognized (and rightly so) that their country can not depend on allies for its defense. Their experience has taught them the Machiavellian maxim that guarantees mean very little when the cannons speak. They are building...
