Concerning the issue of "building a faculty" for the hyphenated "Afro-Am" Department, Dean Rosovsky said last week, "The issue is not money, administration, or structure--it is an intellectual issue of teaching and research. We've tried for a decade to bring on a faculty. We have tried and we have failed..." This is another contemptuous statement directed toward African Americans--it implies that one decade is not sufficient time to collect an African American faculty capable of providing its intellectual direction...

If Carson, NBC'S top star, jumps to another network, presumably first-place ABC, more of NBC'S affiliates may abandon Silverman's leaky ship...
