...Minister of Information of the California-based Black Panthers, Presidential candidate of the Peace and Freedom Party, and author of the widely-acclaimed Soul On Ice, Cleaver undoubtedly had something to contribute to a course on Racism In America. But Cleaver is not a man designed to appeal to classic American educational tastes. His criminal record dates to 1954, and includes charges of narcotics violations, assault, and rape. When his appointment was announced last Wednesday, Cleaver was beginning a trial in Oakland on three counts of attempted murder...

Rather, he is the foremost practitioner of one of the world's oldest and most sophisticated musical arts. Weaving the melodies of the classic raga into the intricate rhythms of the tala, he improvised compositions of the utmost subtlety, reveling in the musical growth that was taking place under his fingers, glorying in the sweat on his swarthy face. Playing a raga can be "like mounting a fiery horse," he says. His audiences could tell what...
