...drunk is a question psychologists have never really answered. There is no doubt that violence has a cathartic effect, and the pressures that cause it must find an outlet of one kind or another. (Japan's Matsushita Electric Co. has set up a dummy of the foreman that workers can beat up on a given day once a week, thereby presumably releasing their aggressions...
Since their formation in the wake of Foreman's October visit, the Friends of SNCC have been a small thorn in the administration's side. Dubbed a "provisional campus organization," they were allowed to meet in the religious center, and, theoretically, to use university facilities, just like any other full-fledged campus organization. But in March, the administration apparently thought it had found the issue with which it could gracefully get the Friends of SNCC out of its hair. A group of Negro performers, known as the Gospel Singers, were arrested in East Texas, and allegedly beaten by local police...
Negro students from Berkeley to the University of Chicago to Harvard were attentive but not awestruck by Carmichael's appeal. Carmichael wasn't bringing most of his audiences any news. Afro-American and militant black-only groups had been in formation since 1963 when the Movement came North.

Because he has already paid the lawyer $133,000 in cash, says Melvin, the property "loss" means that he now owes Foreman only $4,592. And he wants the remaining property back...
Taking the offensive, Foreman claimed that a jury trial might wind up raising his fee. "Depending on what newspaper you read, Mrs. Mossler inherited $9,000,000 or $33 million by the death of Jacques Mossler," he beamed. "She would not have inherited one penny of this had she not been acquitted." In Texas, a lawyer can work for a 50% contingency fee. "Therefore," said Foreman, "I would be willing to accept any modest fee, handed down by a jury, of between $4,000,000 and $16.5 million for my services." Added Foreman: "It is quite possible that...
