Bonn, too, professed amazement and "regret"-even though officials could barely conceal their relief. Editorialized Hamburg's Bild Zeitung: "France lies weak, cowardly and humbled on its knees. The worst of it is, nobody knows whether any other European country, West Germany included, might not have done the same." Even pro-government French newspapers condemned Abu Daoud's release. "When acts so cruelly belie words, we are no longer in the political realm," said Le Figaro...
...glorified Harvard's history of African studies, maintaining that "African studies has had the advantage of satisfactory and congenial growth within established disciplines." Rosovsky makes a tremendous effort to detail all the research and curricular offerings of the school in African studies, but all his efforts fail to conceal several facts.

Siegel, for example, is now functioning wide-awake during the day and sleeping soundly at night−without snoring...

I learned to Uncle Tom, to giggle and laugh and say, "How clever of you to know what time it is." You conceal your intelligence and I went through many years of doing that. Another thing that has been helpful to me has been not going to school. I slipped out of socialization because I never went a full year until seventh or eighth grade...
