Triple A-Plus. Only on rare occasions has Humphrey let slip the merest hint of differences with the White House. Once in a while, his old logorrheic fervor would earn Johnson's displeasure, as when in 1966 he commented on urban riots: "With rats nibbling on my children's toes, I might lead a pretty good revolt myself." He also called for a "Marshall Plan" for the cities when the White House was playing down big new spending programs. But generally he disagreed with few Administration policies.

Many congregations that had tried to imitate the sobriety of their white counterparts are again beginning to emphasize zeal and fervor in both sermon and song. And Negro pastors-although still a voice of reason in the ghetto-are getting tougher. One of Detroit's most militant black power leaders now is the Rev. Albert B. Cleage Jr., who calls his Central United Church of Christ "the shrine of the Black Madonna...
