...male black students now finish high school. Around the land, Black Panthers have started ghetto clinics and breakfast and lunch programs for schoolchildren-not without criticism from more moderate blacks. Professor Barbara Solomon of the University of Southern California denounces the Panthers' Los Angeles Freedom School as "brainwashing children to hate the white...

To classic nationalistic sentiments, Asians added an indigenous ingredient ?barely contained outrage at the fact that the European colonizers almost inevitably humiliated the peoples they sought to rule.

By inserting a needle through a woman's abdomen when she is 16 weeks pregnant and extracting fluid from the amniotic sac, doctors can determine if the unborn child will have Tay-Sachs disease. Cells shed by the developing fetus into the fluid will be analyzed...
