"We would never, never allow Negroes to starve, to grow bitter, and to die in ghettos all over the country if we were not driven by some nameless fear that has nothing to do with Negroes. We would never victimize, as we do, children whose only crime is color, and keep them, as we put it, in their place.

Doctors, he said, have been so dazzled by penicillin that they...

Transported suddenly to its upper ridges, without an oxygen mask, a healthy man would die within hours-of physical deterioration. Tibetans call the mountain Chomolungma, "Mother of the World," and insist that it is the home of the gods. Why the gods would choose to live there, with Elysium at their disposal, is beyond human...
