Ever the pragmatist, Bond advocates issue-by-issue coalitions based on mutual self-interest as a primary source of black political power.

So few popular songs have say important verbal content that it is typical to hear people chanting along with supermarket Muzak, singing words at random to an approximation of the tune. The nonsensical result is likely to be as engaging as the original...
