...Pearson would run is a generally good one. To be sure, his government has been plagued by a long series of nasty scandals, which forced the resignation of two Cabinet ministers as well as Pearson's own parliamentary secretary. But Canada is calm, prosperous and more or less content with a gross national product rising 8% a year. To help heal the divisions between French-and English-speaking Canadians, Pearson pushed through a new Canadian flag and set up a special Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. In the prairie provinces-where the political leanings are Conservative...
...rinderpest is done for in Nigeria; U.S.-supplied vaccine, shot into 10 million cows, saw to that. In Peru, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, 500,000 school kids get a glass of milk each morning. Fishermen in Kenya are content: the U.S. gave them new boats so they could catch fish twice as fast, and now they only work half as long. But oops!

Moreover, unlike most cops who are content to tend their roses or go fishing in off hours, William Parker (few call him Bill) is a compulsive and all-too-articulate public speaker who tends to view contemporary history through the eyes of such moralists as Jeremiah and Sophocles and Swift...
...hallowed counsel of the white man to the Negro has been patience−until at length the Negro was able to point out that he had been patient for one full century. The same counsel now has a more concrete content: patience, to let the new laws work, to let elections bring about the change implicit in all the stress on voting rights, to let the courts strike at anyone who discriminates in housing or jobs. This political weapon already feels good in the hands of many Negroes: those who form an effective voting bloc in Tennessee, those who have...
