...also read today the letter of Professor of Law Derrick A. Bell in which he stated, "the magnetic attraction of power, prestige, and profit, of justifying a nation's racial conduct, which is no less unjustifiable because stated in academic terms, remains irresistible."

"If the Chinese were to land on the coast of California, every military school would come into its own again," muses Colonel Derrick Whiting, headmaster of the San Rafael Military Academy, which closed its doors last month.
