...Harris poll last year recorded that 92% of black students, including the most militant, still favor integration. Separatism is perhaps a demand for the creation of an Africa of the mind more than a bid for a geographical republic. If literally fulfilled, black nationalism might be disastrous. Negroes are beginning to realize that even the admirable notion of black capitalism is futile unless joined to white capitalism, to the U.S. economy outside the ghettos. In totally black communities, rival factions and black Mafias would reduce Negroes to a reduplicated subservience, leaving them at the mercy not only of white prejudice...
...question once-automatic license renewals and seriously consider competing applications from would-be broadcasters. Well aware of the station owners' fears, Pastore has made it clear that he opposes any "sword of Damocles over the heads of broadcasters at renewal time"-giving a broad hint that he might favor legislation to change FCC procedures and facilitate license renewals. One implicit condition: that local stations support his beefed-up Television Code...

Nor did Ayub's plan mollify two leading East Pakistan politicians, Sheik Mujibur Rahman and Maulana Abdul Hamid Bhashani, the 83-year-old leader of the pro-China faction of the National Awami Party...
...pleasures of any roman-fleuve lies in keeping track of the pasts and permutations of vast numbers of characters. One way and another, the war introduces and eradicates many of Powell's figurants. The ditching of the Yugoslav Chetnik Leader Mihailovich in favor of Tito costs the life of Peter Templer, one of Jenkins' oldest friends (and a veteran of novel No. 1, A Question of Upbringing), who fought with the wrong partisans. The Malayan debacle takes another of Powell's veteran characters, Charles Stringham, P.O.W. and presumed dead. The officer indirectly responsible for the orders that...
