...understood that bad things happen in prisons, but we don't generally imagine them happening to students temporarily held there. Hasnain Javed, a Pakistani, was traveling by bus on Sept. 19 from a family reunion in Houston to New York City, where he was studying computer programming at Queensborough Community College. At a 5 a.m. stop in Mobile, Ala., Javed's bus was searched by border-patrol agents as part of a series of routine inspections. When it was discovered that Javed was holding an expired visa, he was arrested and sent to the Stone County Correctional Facility in Wiggins...
...they hit the World Trade Center." Javed admits he's not sure how long the beatings lasted--though it felt like half an hour--but he insists he'd have to be "a psycho" to say something like that in a prison.

I said Robinson would be appalled that there was not a single black manager in the major leagues. Koppel said to Campanis, who was sitting in a Houston ball park, "Is Mr. Kahn's statement true, and if it is, to what do you attribute it?" Campanis responded that blacks lacked "the necessities" to manage. He meant intelligence. His speech was slurred. He may have been drinking. The Dodgers promptly fired him, but to this day the team...
