...white radicals who are silenced by a fascist judge in Chicago, or of the civil rights of white Congressmen whose phones are bugged by the anonymous electricians of the FBI. This is all correct usage, but it's not the same as it used to be.

It just shows...
...stranglehold on policy. But one official of Foreign Policy makes his distaste for the competition very clear: " Foreign Policy is a direct alternative. Foreign Affairs is the voice of all the people who've been wrong in the past. It's a bad magazine run by bad people, a bunch of dinosaurs who've been around for years."
