Politics is, in fact, the field in which many blacks place their highest hopes. Perhaps the best example of the emerging black politician is Julian Bond, whose cool style charms both blacks and whites even as he assails white racism in blunt terms. Tough and smart, he has used his local position as a member of the Georgia legislature to achieve national prominence as a hall-packing speaker. A less glamorous but no less aggressive politician is Charles Evers, one of a growing number of black officials in small Southern towns. In Fayette, Miss., Evers has refused to yield before...
...JULIAN BOND, 30, one of eight blacks elected to the Georgia house of representatives in 1965. None had served there since Reconstruction. He was the first black to be nominated for Vice President at a national-party convention. That happened at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968; Bond withdrew because he was too young to qualify.

Among the scheduled speakers: Ramsey Clark, I. F. Stone and Julian Bond. The cartoon was hardly a contribution to the national debate, and few other countries in the world would casually allow their Chief of State to be depicted so contemptuously. But the U.S. presidency has survived sharper lampooning. Actually, the present instance might have been worse. The artist, Robert Grossman, originally had the whole crew walking along naked. The Times rejected that version...
