...sartorial bar anyway-is Spiro Agnew. "Every hair is in place on that man," complains Molloy. "He always buttons his buttons." Hence the impression is one of strained perfectionism. H.R. ("Bob") Haldeman, with his neatly mowed hair (recently grown and raked for a weedier effect) and Ivy League garb, has that "I went to the right schools" look.

It is a phenomenon that, regrettably, is far from unknown among some Harvard faculty who appear quite willing to build their reputations on anti-black writings, scantily clad in scholarly garb. Perhaps blacks should be pleased that at least one black is participating in the benefits of this personally profitable, if academically questionable, enterprise...
