...hurt their own cause. The torn ghettos, if the aftermath of Watts is any lesson, will not be reconstructed. And sadly, most whites lack the intelligence and magnanimity to realize that compassion and sharply escalated governmental spending and attention are called for. They will look for conspiracies, fix their gaze on the H. Rap Browns, call for stricter police control, and encourage their Congressmen to continue reducing anti-poverty spending...
Without the prestige and power of old, the princely life went quickly into decline. Many princes now sit in their drawing rooms amid moldering Victorian knickknacks, with the swords and shields of their martial caste decorating the walls and the reproachful gaze of full-length ancestors in oils staring down on them. Others converted their palaces into hotels. The Rajmata's former kingdom of Gwalior is now a quiet, ordinary part of the state of Madhya Pradesh.

...weeks, it already has well over $30 million in advance bookings. Visitors' reactions to the courtyard range from "a fabulosity" (an Atlanta attorney) to "the eighth wonder of the world" (a Chicago businessman). Indeed, so many bowled-over guests blurt out "Jeez!"-or stronger-when they first gaze up into 21 stories of space that hotel employees have already dubbed the spot in the lobby where the full height is first glimpsed with a name of its own: Profanity Corner...
