...Mixmaster" from Southerners for using just such tough language with local officials who still maintain separate school systems for blacks and whites. For an Administration widely thought to be wedded to a "Southern strategy," the new hardline tactics add up to a welcome drive to end de jure segregation in the South. Elliot Richardson, sworn in last week as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and Robert Finch, his predecessor, have vowed publicly that by the time Southern schools reopen in the fall, the great majority of school districts will be desegregated. That prediction now seems sound...

When Nixon made his March 24 desegregation statement, he drew a line between segregation sanctioned by official policy (de jure) and that resulting from segregated housing patterns (de facto). Nixon has long been opposed to busing purely for the purpose of integration.

...first black soul food. It fed the slave during his fierce day's travail in the shimmering Georgia cotton fields. It simultaneously comforted the second-class citizen and nurtured his sense of subservience during the agonizing disappointment of Reconstruction and through the long dark age of de jure segregation. Flight from reality, as illustrated in the nonsense lyric of Dan Tucker, formed the bedrock of the earliest Negro humor. Later, vaudeville, radio and the movies perpetuated the blackface minstrel stereotype of the happy-go-lucky devourer of watermelons...
