Wang, however, has protested the general view of him as a "Negro hater." In a letter to the CRIMSON, Wang, a Chinese-American northerner, calls himself "not anti-Negro" and says he "loves the Negroes as his brothers...
Lifelong Democrat Richardson gave only halfhearted support to such Hearst causes as I Am An American Day and the career of Marion Davies. But when Marion's brother-in-law was slugged one night, Cop Hater Richardson gleefully pounced on Hearst's notion that law-abiding Los Angeles was in the grip of a crime wave.

Each man saw worlds about to overturn through a queen's lure; in Shaw's Caesar as in Giraudoux's Hector, the great warrior is the great hater of war; in Shaw's Caesar as in Giraudoux's Ulysses, the wise man sadly grasps the impotence of wisdom. And both plays are as autumnal in their ruefulness as they remain vernal in their...
