...militant black, however, seriously questions the validity of law itself. He has no faith in due process and seeks not to alter a specific statute. Rather, he denies the very authority and claim to validity of present democratic legal processes. He feels that his rights will be protected only if there is a fundamental change in the societal legal order. He has passed the stage of legal protest into the sphere of revolt. The Jew, his former ally, can not and will not make such a transition and is therefore abused as a faithless lover. The militant black...
Even though Blake and his colleagues occasionally looked like beleaguered Daniels in a fundamentalist's lions' den, their choice of Tulsa was a deliberate one.

In place of compulsive cease and desist orders, the F.T.C. more often issues industry-wide "guides" and "trade regulations." It has no way of demanding compliance with these voluntary orders, and usually is satisfied by an unsubstantiated assurance by the businessman that he has complied...
...this jejune January your baseball trivia quiz provided a hopeful harbinger of spring. I therefore waited eagerly for the quiz's omniscient propounder to provide the answer to the one query I couldn't cope with. Thus, you can imagine the crisis of faith I have been subjected to since discovering that Mr. Powers knows no more than I the identity of the youngest pitcher to win a major-league game...
