Longden asserted that the Count's short career as a race horse can be directly attributed to his single effort at a mile-and-a-half, thus justifying scratching Majestic Prince from the Belmont. Perhaps Count Fleet's fifteen races as a two-year-old contributed more to his unsoundness than his six races at three. Longden and Majestic Prince seem to be quitting a Channel swim in full stroke a mile from shore, but they are quitting winners. Anyway everybody knows that Mom, Apple Pie, and Undefeated Triple Crown Winners are just a mirage...
...jerked to a halt. A plump, middle-aged sergeant hopped out with his gun drawn and ran toward the crowd. Then another car drove up. Two officers got out and started running in the same direction. Then came two motorcycles, sirens wailing, two more cars, another motorcycle. Ten or fifteen policemen were running down the alley that the policemen disappeared into...
...then there was one of those god-awful family get-togethers--was it what's her face's wedding or cousin George's funeral (he was twenty-nine and died of fright)?

In these words, a newly formed National Black Economic Development Conference last month demanded that "white Christian churches and Jewish synagogues" pay $500 million in "reparations" to U.S. Negroes or face the possibility of disruption of church operations and seizure of church facilities. Last week conference speaker James Forman, one-time executive director of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, disrupted a Sunday Communion service at Manhattan's Riverside Church to demand, among other things, that the church, located on the edge of Harlem, turn over 60% of its investment income...
...Emery tells them how they can get GM. There are ten to fifteen million sitting targets--every GM car, truck, and bus extant. Don't confuse the issue by hitting at Ford or Chrysler, you can dictate terms to them after GM is shut down. Don't hurt the people in the cars. Your fight is against machines, not men. Smash windshields, use beer can openers to dig long scratches into the sides of the monsters. Get jobs at gas stations, in garages--dump sand, valve grinding compound, detergent into the crankcases and gas tanks...
