"We cannot allow the growth of first-and second-class citizenship." Africanization, he said, was dead. For this bow to racial equality, he was immediately and savagely denounced by trade union leaders in Dar. Silent but more ominous was the reaction of the Tanganyika Rifles, the nation's 1,600-man army. Still commanded by British...

But I quite agree that what we need...

Despite the Supreme Court decision, many schools opened this fall with some form of prayer. In San Francisco, the midmorning snack for kindergarten, first-and second-grade children is invariably preceded by a bouncy hymnlet that teach ers have dubbed "The Graham Cracker Song": We thank thee, God, for food we eat, For family and friends we meet, For books we read and songs we sing; We thank thee, God, for everything...
