...white man told me of a race riot he had witnessed and his pity for its victims; and though it may seem strange to some, his relation of the incidents was absolutely without racial bias. The fact is that in those days no one who did not condemn race riots would have come out of his hole to admit it. Indeed, until recently it would have been difficult to find anyone of intelligence, or even coherent of speech, to express any justification for such outrages...

"It is madness to so jeopardize our own security and the orderly progression of the world." But House members had al ready unsheathed their sharpest knives and, in a callously contrived show of economy, hacked the aid authorization to bare bones. The modest $2.9 billion Administration request, smallest in the aid program's 21-year history, was cut by nearly $ 1 billion before being passed by a 228-to-184 vote...
