...critics of Kilson's characterization have stated that he believes in the pathology of intra-black association; they claim that he assumes the inferiority of black culture and advocates individualistic acculturation, which would result in the disappearance of cultural blackness. Kilson's critics assert that his analysis is far too negative and is padded by invalid statistics; they ideologically portray him as one committed more to intellectualism than to his own racial identification...
Although the Cardinals give the impression of being a fourth-place team, they do have an upward mobility that neither the Expos nor the Pirates can claim.

In fact, materiel from both Hanoi and the U.S. contribute to the tempo of military action. Martin never directly claims that there have been no South Vietnamese violations of the ceasefire; he attacks Shipler for not presenting "a shred of evidence" of such violations. "The U.S.," he insists, "has no military advisers in South Viet Nam; no advice is given the Vietnamese in contravention of the Paris agreements." He charges...
