...effort by the people of Watts to keep their own community peaceful, a self-help project that even the nationalists could not demean, although it came from a coalition group. Lou Gothard, an active member of TALO, thinks this kind of unity is a necessity for community action. Although he has nationalist sympathies, he feels that nationalist have often hampered effective action by taking a hard, doctrinaire line that prevents coalition. "The function of nationalism is to point out the fallacies of the civil rights movement," Gothard said, implying that before equality can be achieved, Negroes must be able...
...attracted little public attention until newsmen asked Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen what he thought about it. Dirksen, who had been en route to Mexico City with the President when Ford made his charges, made no attempt to hide his Olympian disapproval. "You don't," he said acerbically, "demean the Chief Magistrate of your country at a time like this when the war is on. You stand up to be counted." Dirksen subsequently tried to minimize his differences with Ford...

Nipsey Russell claims that he similarly tries to avoid racial humor, but his act often makes use of it nonetheless...
...name from your list of moderate Republicans. This action is indeed strange, as it is all too often my father's name, not Sen. Keating's that is missing. The far-righters would never be guilty of such sin of omission. Again showing your pro-Democratic bias, you demean Sen. Keating's repudiation of the Republican national ticket, attributing it out of hand to expediency instead of principle. Had you been aware of the tremendous pressure, and vicious mail such a stand elicits, I am not sure you would have shrugged it off so easily. Then, too, why not play...
