Daniel Patrick Moynihan, director of the Joint Center, spoke for the Conference in a letter to Carl D. Perkins, chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee: "Such substantial undercounting of minority groups raises a new order of question.

Jim went to Seattle with an overhand fastball, a nickel curve, and simplistic notions about strategy: if the bases were loaded and the count was 3 and 2, he threw the next pitch low and away. At least nobody ever hit him in a spot like that.
