...does offer a savage vignette of blacks being harassed in a Newark courtroom as well as a snarling account of that city's 1967 riots set against a background of ethnic politics and official corruption. But mainly Jones pushes a distended version of black nationalism based on a fusion of black art, black politics and African spiritualism...
Perhaps the most dramatic example of the fusion of law, economics and the awakening political power of blacks currently shaping the South can be found in the renaissance of Hancock County. Five years after a voter-registration drive began reclaiming the blacks' franchise, Hancock County's courthouse is run by a predominantly black school board, county commission and judge of the ordinary. But holding political control over a dying, poverty-ridden county is an empty victory, so Hancock's blacks are trying to create a new standard of living to make power worthwhile. In a tiny hamlet called Mayfield...
...most basic step would be to change the structure of the tax. Realty taxes are a fusion of two separate levies -one on the value of locations and the other on buildings. Most cities collect two or three times as much tax from buildings as from the site value of land. This low taxation of land re wards speculators, who can easily afford to keep property off the market until urban growth forces its price up enough for a fat profit. A costly consequence of this is "suburban sprawl," much of which is caused by subdivision developers moving farther...

I am sure that tonight's performance of The Days of the Commune will measure up, on the whole, as a success-if only for this robust fusion of music and dramatic spectacle.

In any event, Brecht, Eisler, Lehrman and his company merit the whole University's attention. Tonight...
What about other sources of power? When many estimate that there are over 300 years of fossil fuels left-coal, shale, oil, natural gas-and that geothermal, fusion, solar, magneto-hydrodynamics and other clean power technologies are just around the corner, why the rush for fission? These other power technologies haven't been given a chance. The AEC spends 83 per cent of its research dollar on fission power. Con Edison spent more on advertising last year than on all research. In fact, over ten times as much is spent on advertising for electricity as is spent on research into...
