...main criticism of The Negro Family came from middle-class liberals, black and white. The charge was that the report raised the spectre of Negro inferiority. Moynihan was at complete liberty to demolish these arguments, as he does in his Commentary article. Obviously certain problems--illegitimacy (that is, reported births out of wedlock), lack of education, inferior housing, and unsanitary living conditions--simply go along with poverty and discrimination...
...with his recent standpat position on birth control, the Pope's rebuke showed that he intended to be cautious in carrying out the renewal promised by the Vatican Council. The day he spoke to the Jesuits, Paul told a general audience at St. Peter's: "You cannot demolish the church of yesterday to build the church of tomorrow...
...owns, conjuring up memories of the garish comic horrors of the journey through a Sahara of motels in Nabokov's Lolita. Into this room tromp a man (Conrad Fowkes) and a woman (James Barbosa) looking like plaster casts with comic-strip blow-up heads. They proceed to demolish everything in he room, and at the height of the carnage they scrawl foot-high obscenities on the walls, some never before presented on the U.S. stage.

Dan's scouts had watched U.C.L.A. demolish Pittsburgh (57-14) and Syracuse (31-12) on successive Saturdays, and he was ready to concede that "U.C.L.A. is the best team in the country" -better than No. 1-ranked Michigan State-even before Missouri played the Bruins last week. Devine's Tigers were undefeated, they had sharpened their claws on Minnesota (24-0) and Illinois (21-14) of the Big Ten. They were 14-point underdogs at Los Angeles, and while they did better...
