...Indians and coloreds are being given absolutely no real power. And Blacks perceive their willingness to go along with Botha as a poorly disguised sell-out, a "take-whatever-we-can-get-forget-the-other-fellow" attitude. Botha has been quite open in declaring that Blacks will not have representation during his lifetime, nor for that matter during his children's lifetime. So it's easy to empathize with the Black view that they have been the victims of the ultimate divide-and-conquer strategy...
...Fellow linebacker Andy Nolan isn't throwing in any towels either, but no one knows for sure whether he'll be back on the field this year. Felled with a deep thigh bruise in the Maine scrimmage, Nolan played two downs against Columbia. Preparation for those two downs was enough for the bruise to calcify, as it did shortly after the game...
...most fearsome of these creatures were carnivores, like the ferocious Tyrannosaurus, which seems to have feasted on its fellow dinosaurs. Others, like the long-necked Brontosaurus, the archetypal dinosaur of cartoons, were gentle, browsing vegetarians. In spite of their comparatively small brains, dinosaurs were not dumb, floundering brutes.

Stegoceras perhaps employed the thick dome on its skull in sexual combat, as an elk uses its horns. Dinosaurs...
...commanding Francis Cardinal Spellman, and quickly adopted a more conciliatory managerial style, in keeping with the decentralizing principles of Vatican II. An anti-Communist who served as military vicar to the U.S. armed services' 2 million Roman Catholics, the Cardinal last year abandoned his usual quiet role among fellow prelates to oppose the majority of American bishops in their call for nuclear disarmament. Cooke used the occasion of his approaching death as a means of pastoral teaching, announcing that his condition was terminal shortly after he learned the news in August. In an open letter completed only days before...
...seriously, folks: What about James Watt? Is it simply a matter of a fellow with poor comic delivery? That most recent remark, the one about the new coal-leasing review commission consisting of "a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple." It nearly got Watt ousted a few weeks ago. It might yet. Why? Surely the substance of his remark is not taboo. In the right hands, with the right tone, a joke about the overexacting demands of affirmative action could result in genuine, harmless hilarity. But not with Watt. When he tells a joke, the prisoners start...
