...sought to take away the Government's most effective integration weapon: the authority granted to HEW under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to withhold federal aid to school districts refusing to carry out adequate plans for desegregation. The Whitten amendment specifically barred HEW from withholding funds to force bussing, the closing of schools or the reassignment of pupils against parental wishes. In effect, it authorized evasive "freedom of choice" desegregation plans, which the Supreme Court has already declared inadequate...
Liturgies will continue to develop along two lines?the informal, at-home or small-group service, perhaps built around a neighborhood gathering or encounter session, and the bigger-than-ever cathedral celebration. Light shows, poetry, dance and electronic music may upstage incense, stained glass and organ, but the psychological effect will be much the same and just as necessary. Negro and Jewish influences may very well enrich the Christian tradition. As the Rev. J. Archie Hargraves notes, the Negro has two contrasting virtues: "soul" and "cool."

But it remained...
...between sensual love and what he called rational love. Rational love, he said, puts greater emphasis on the senses of sight and hearing. He argued that as conduits for soul mergers, the eyes and ears are superior to the mouth, which responds to the inflammatory sense of touch. In effect, Castiglione legitimized bedroom eyes and sweet nothings. But at a higher level, he encouraged women to converse with men, thus helping to refine the male while at the same time raising the female's status and dignity as a human being...
