...social organization where membership is subject to private whim. It is a board composed of the professionally superlative. To deny membership for personal reasons has no place in the scope of its work. It is inescapable as the reductio ad absurdum of such a proposition that the academically inferior five percent will inherit the organ through denial of privilege to those who earned the invitation and the opportunity to prove themselves...
WHEN congressional investigators dig into the strategic stockpiling program, they will find plenty of things wrong with the $4 billion defense project. Preliminary checks have turned up inferior materials, loss through mishandling, loose specifications and possible fraud.

If he is a murderer, he may be hanged, but the tropis (and all so-called inferior races) will gain in security and dignity by judicial affirmation that they are human; if he is not a murderer, racists may at last have legal biological grounds for their prejudices...
