Talking loudly has not got one thing to do with being black. People talk loudly because they want attention, and almost all children go through a loud-talking stage. Any large group together in public tends to talk loudly. Eye aversion is not a black trait either. The Cultural Mafia certainly must not have talked to any young black militants because they will definitely give you an eye for an eye -no pun intended. Eye rolling is too ridiculous to comment...
Fortas really had little choice: he had either to resign or to face almost certain impeachment by the House of Representatives. Though he attempted to dismiss his financial dealings with the Wolfson Family Foundation as routine and blameless, the pressure from both Congress and the Nixon Administration became severe and finally intolerable. Fortas decided to resign, he said, as soon as he realized that the furor surrounding him-and the court-could not otherwise subside.

...Whoever they are, the new men will probably be more conservative than either Fortas or Warren, who were in close agreement on most issues.

The ringleaders were quietly executed, so this tale went, and the unreliable Soviet...
...have sought an agreement with the fedayeen that would preserve the peace with Israel. Last week the two sides reached an uneasy, fragile-and probably impermanent-understanding. Lebanon will release arrested rioters and drop charges against them in return for a fedayeen promise not to bring on Israeli retaliation, either by firing across the border or by launching large-scale raids from Lebanese territory. Lebanon has appealed also to its Moslem neighbors for a summit meeting of the Arab League, now a distinct possibility, since other Arab governments are as aware as the Lebanese of the growing political threat...
