Cortés spent the next two years virtually walled up in his father's house-hidden in a hollow space of 3 ft. by 6 ft., originally intended as a cupboard. "Sometimes I would come out at night," he says, "but the house was often searched in those days." Then, in 1941, the landlord told the family that they must leave the house and find another. They managed to find one with a conveniently similar wall cupboard elsewhere in the town, and Cortés made the move by night, dressed in women's clothes, his head...
...mile-long sector held by troops of the U.S. 2nd (Indianhead) Division lies athwart the probable path of any infantry thrust at Seoul. "There they are, right in the way if the bastards decide to come on over," says an American colonel at the headquarters of the U.S.-U.N. military mission. "Once something starts, we are at war. We will have no time to ask whether we want to be in this war at this time, because American troops are going to be fighting for their lives." It has been argued that the G.I.s should be replaced by South Korean...
...state of euphoric exhaustion. Despite their misgivings, most professors seemed satisfied that Cornell had averted bloodshed. Many students envisioned a new era of racial good feeling. Robert W.

"Blacks are traditionally taught that phrases like T busy' and 'I be busy' are grammatically wrong," says Taylor. He relishes the effect when he tells students that such speech forms come directly from the language of their West African forefathers and are not a corruption of European usage: "Suddenly this causes the black students to feel that their language isn't so inferior after all. This is psychologically important -the black doesn't have to feel he is stupid...
...pretext to evade acting in a revolutionary fashion now." He wants to include as many white students as possible (white students, in fact, could greatly benefit from black studies). The shortage of qualified black teachers will keep most faculties of Afro-American studies integrated for some time to come. There are, moreover, legal obstacles to full autonomy. Roy Wilkins, executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, warned last winter: "If some white Americans should accede officially to the call for separate dormitories and autonomous racial schools, there will be court action to determine anyone...
