...been careful not to get too far ahead of the times-or too far behind. He started Ebony, he said in his prospectus, "to emphasize the brighter side of Negro life and success." As the darker side has come more into view, Ebony has adjusted. Last winter, Senior Editor Lerone Bennett Jr. provoked considerable controversy and a stern rebuttal from the New York Times when he wrote an article debunking Abraham Lincoln as the "embodiment of the American racist tradition." As part of the same mood, whites have been replaced by Negroes in ads in the magazine, though some readers...

It described an after-dinner speaker who began: "Mr. Chairman, distinguished platform guests and my fellow Afro-Americans, Negro, Black, Colored, Soul Brothers and Sisters ..."

...most European countries, even some of the Communist bloc, the alleged offenses would be classified as trivia. The Madrid daily El Alcazar, for example, was fined $375 for erroneously reporting that a Falangist leader had paid a call on Franco. A Barcelona editor was given an eight-month prison term for publishing a letter that denounced Catalan nationalism-a letter that echoed the government's own views. Why, then, was he punished?
