Although Martin's recommendations are almost completely opposite to U.S. plans or inventions, the Saigon government and press took great offense. Saigon newspapers charged Martin with being a "colonialist," and demanded his expulsion. One paper ran a poem accusing him of every known vice and concluding: "You s.o.b., and your father and your mother and all your family and all your ancestors." More direct action was also threatened. Getting word that ARVN soldiers planned to sack the villa in which Newsweek is quartered, Martin had bars put on the windows...
True, France has some practical interests in Quebec. At a time when De Gaulle is lavishing abuse on Britain, the U.S. and other "colonialist" powers, he himself has been diligently trying to set up-something akin to a colony in Quebec. In the past seven years, French investment in Quebec has doubled to more than $100 million, and De Gaulle's government organizes regular exchange programs for students, teachers and technicians.

...problem is a relatively modern one. Whether out of innate good sense or colonialist snobbery, whites up through the 19th century shunned the tropical sun, carried parasols, wore big-brimmed hats and left exposure to nonwhites, whom nature has kindly endowed with pigment protection.

Today, Nkrumah is in exile, Ghana is practically bankrupt-and the Ivory Coast is Black Africa's most flourishing young country...
...Catholic canticles based on plain chant, along with hymns borrowed from Anglican, Lutheran and Presbyterian songbooks. In response to popular demand, in went Billy Graham's longtime favorite, How Great Thou Art. Out, at the request of Negro Methodist bishops, went Rudyard Kipling's Recessional, with its colonialist reference to "lesser breeds without the law"; the hymnal includes five Negro spirituals, carefully edited to exclude dialect wording. Reflecting the musical cross-fertilization inspired by church missionaries, there is one hymn (The Righteous Ones) by a Thai convert to Christianity, another based on an African chant...
