...write this a few hours before Wednesday night's voting session, the Republican Convention is something of a joke. When Mayor Lindsay and Sen. John Tower of Texas can agree on a Vietnam plank although one is a dove and one a super hawk, when Rockefeller can talk about winning (and the New York Times can try so hard to believe him) at a convention whose delegates go wild for Barry Goldwater and give a louder ovation to Max Rafferty than to Mayor Lindsay, when Gov. Spiro T. Agnew of Maryland can switch his allegiance from Rockefeller because...
...Black Questions for Whitey" [July 12]: Sociologist Dove, despite his color, is not as soul as he thinks he is. "C.C." may have stood for Country Circuit when the late Chuck Willis rendered his emasculated version of the famous blues, but Ma Rainey sang it as Easy [not C.C.] Rider Blues much earlier. Old blues singers applied the term easy rider to the guitar, which, because of its shoulder strap, "rode easy."

During his first months in Bolivia, Che set about trying to show green troops how to cut through the thick jungle underbrush and how to live off the land, noting once that his hunters had "managed to get two monkeys, a parrot and a dove."

MOST testmakers conceded that their own cultural backgrounds impose a distinct bias on their questions. Arguing that all U.S. employment and IQ tests reflect the culture of white, middle-class America, Negro Sociologist Adrian Dove, 33, a program analyst for the U.S. Budget Bureau, devised his own quiz. Wryly known as the "Soul Folk Chitlings Test," it is cast with a black, rather than a white, bias. Some of his 30 black imponderables prove extremely difficult for Whitey: 1) Whom did "Stagger Lee" kill (in the famous blues legend)? a) His mother, b) Frankie, c) Johnny, d) His girl friend...
...SURREALISM. This is usually mixed with metaphors come to life: the real dove that turns into a bottle of Dove liquid soap, the Ultra Brite girl who brands strangers with long-distance kisses. There is also an element of "I can do anything you can do" worse. Thus when Aerowax ricochets machine-gun bullets off its "jet-age plastic," another brand looses a stampede of elephants to trample over its "protective shield." The surrealistic approach often has a certain childish charm at first, but with repetition it quickly palls...
