There is a difference between institutional racism and institutional oppression. Institutional racism, in the guise of Pat Buchanan, inherent in the rhetoric of Charles Murray, and implicit in the image of Willie Horton as the quintessential criminal in America, are words geared at demonizing the black race, provoking other Americans to think of black people as stupid and predisposed to criminal activity. The tools of institutional oppression, in the form of police brutality in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Saint Louis and Chicago, are the sticks and stones which actively hurt the black community and keep it from achieving everything that...
...there is a theme implicit in the Smith story that ought to be familiar to every woman with a functioning heart, and that theme is love. Not the good kind of love, obviously, the kind that results in homemade cookies and all-night vigils with feverish children, but the ungovernable, romantic kind of love that the songs tell us about, as in "addicted to love" and "I would do anything to hold on to you." Whether Smith intended to kill herself or just wanted to win back her lover by getting rid of the kids, we will never know...
Lager too still aspired to make a positivist art about modern life based on classical principles. A whole range of artists, from Piero della Francesca to Manet, are implicit in his image in praise of skilled labor, The Constructors, 1950.

But it is not, because the massive post-Cubist forms of her limbs suggest stress, a heavy, invisible load to which the energy locked in the figure responds...
...central issue is the fate of the Golan Heights, the strategic plateau that Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 war. Israel has agreed to withdraw, and according to reports from Israeli officials, the two sides for the first time have an implicit understanding that the withdrawal will be total. The two sides have accepted the principle of "equality" of security arrangements on and around the Golan. Both countries, for instance, would remove their armed forces from the border region. However, the Syrians are demanding that the demilitarization be symmetrical; Israel insists that it cannot afford to pull back...
Syria and Israel, whose rancorous negotiations have gone virtually nowhere for more than three years, inched toward common ground, agreeing last week to a shared set of principles to guide their talks. According to Israeli officials, the two sides for the first time have reached an implicit understanding that Israel will withdraw completely from the occupied Golan Heights. "To remain on the Golan Heights," declared Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, "is to give up on peace." Military experts from both sides will meet in Washington in late June to talk further...
