...DoubleTake “in the sense that people were to look at the magazine and be informed and read, in what he considered to be a way neither patronizing nor didactic… [He said,] ‘Let the magazine be a voice, not only for the intelligentsia, and not only to give voice to the intelligentsia…[but] for the ordinary people of the country. The people who work, who go to offices, who work in factories, who are going about their ordinary lives...
...regarding its stated goal of reaching an audience beyond the intelligentsia, DoubleTake’s achievements are harder to quantify. Coles bases his claims in this area in part on the magazine’s location since 1999 in Davis Square, Somerville—a neighborhood that is, at least geographically, as close to Cambridge as it can be without actually being in Cambridge.

Polls indicate that the MMA could win 30 to 50 of the 270 National Assembly seats. (Another 70 seats...
...cinema past that followed, there wasn't much tribute to Foxy Brown, Superfly or Hell Up in Harlem. Blaxploitation--the genre of small-budget, big-action and bigger-Afro movies that flourished in the early to mid-'70s--has been something of an embarrassment to Hollywood and the black intelligentsia alike. (The term black exploitation was popularized by mainline African-American groups--the N.A.A.C.P., core--that protested the movies' sex, violence and criminal heroes.) Blaxploitation movies didn't win awards. They just filled seats by the millions, which is, of course, the way movies change the world...
