...frequently the verses of Isaiah. With white people, he talks in a subdued nigger-rhetoric fitting for a pious black Baptist minister (which he is). With other houses slaves his tone is slightly more relaxed, and with field Negroes (whom he holds in disdain) it becomes much more Sambo-ish. The juxtaposition of Nat speaking in several of his roles can at times be very amusing, and at other times--as when he speaks in an inferior style before less intelligent white men--very degrading...
...Jokers tells about two young men who make off with the Crown Jewels just to show they can do it. The two are brothers: one is thirty-ish suave; the other, a modly dressed stripling. The Stripling has always taken the rap for exploits they've planned together.

Perhaps they can kill more than that." Aden's bustling shops were boarded up, its streets patrolled by British armored cars, and its harbor emptied of ships...
Economic boycotts are by now a familiar, if not quite believable, story to Rhodesia's rebellious whites. The Brit ish declared one against them in 1965 without much noticeable effect, and the United Nations Security Council imposed another one against them four months ago, ditto. Last week, however, Prime Minister Ian Smith advised his countrymen that they could expect an inch or so of pinch. "It seems as though the whole business is going to be drawn out longer than we thought," said Smith. "I do not think it necessarily means austerity, but I believe that Rhodesians must accept...
