...triumph over adversity, as Nat Hentoff programs it in I'm Really Dragged but Nothing Gets Me Down, is going from resentment to resistance. The book is an attempt to put a little chest hair on that artificial category of literature known as "young-adult novels."

Deepened Frustration. Four ranking cops were dismissed in a brutality incident last year, but all have been reinstated under the administration of Mayor Loeb. Such wrist-spanking discipline deepens Negro frustration. So does the chest-thumping of Fire and Police Director Frank Holloman, who recently promised an applauding white civic club that if Memphis' Negroes revert to "lawlessness," as he put it, "we'll knock them on their ass."
