...students I blast are not the dissenters, but the destroyers-the less than 4% who lock up deans in washrooms, who burn manuscripts of unpublished books, who make combination pigpens and playpens of their universities. The remaining 96% detest them as heartily as I do. They are the kids who invite me to their campuses, give me their ovations. To call a guy "anti-youth" because he is revolted by the gangsters among them is as fraudulent as to call LIFE magazine "anti-Italian" because it is revolted by the Mafia...
...yard were bombed and raked by rifle fire. Telephoned threats often awoke him throughout the night. Crosses were burned outside his home. Redneck politicians drew votes by railing against "Rastus McGill," "Red Ralph (only a kaw-muh-nist talks like thet)" and "those lyin' Atlanta papers." McGill could detest the ideas of his enemies, but not the men themselves, nor could those who got to know him fail to respect him. In the '30s and '40s McGill and Georgia's demagogic then-Governor Eugene Talmadge engaged in repeated public disputes, but Talmadge seriously asked McGill...

As a result, they can produce only the same da da da da rigidity that has led 90% of the public to detest Bach. The real baroque fingering style of Bach was reputed to sound like a conversation. Anyone can restore the "speaking-swinging" style to Bach by singing it with the old flute tonguing: did'll did'll, or even the scat syllables: da ba da ba of the Swingle Singers...
...object to the Afro statement, "We detest the use of King's philosophy of non-violence to suppress the legitimate and totally justified rebellion of our black brothers and sisters now occurring across the country." Riots are rarely justified and even more rarely of great benefit to furthering the Negro cause. It is not law and order that oppresses black Americans, it is the other people who live in this country. The laws and principles of the nation far outdistance the population's desire to observe them. The effect that the looting of stores and the destruction of homes...
