...exploit and keep the Black man down. He has had a full White program going for him in brainwashing the Black man with such myths as "White is Right," "Yellow is mellow," "Black stay Back," "Devil's-food cake is Black and Angel-food cake is white," "The White Knight rides a white horse, wears all white and is good and the Black Knight rides a black horse, wears all black and is bad," "You're black balled from groups," "You're wicked an devil because you're blackhearted."

According to one school of thought (which is not to be encouraged), people may buy certain kinds of products even though they hate the commercial. The axiom drawn from all this is that contempt breeds familiarity, and familiarity breeds sales. The recently retired White Knight (for Ajax cleanser) was the most ridiculed horseman since Don Quixote. He galloped so many laps around the plains of suburbia 1,000,000 in five years that after a while, he became a rather endearing symbol of camp.

Making the most of their leading man's telegenic appeal, the Reagan people are putting the Californian on the screen just as often as the White Knight -and nearly as often as the White Tornado. There are 20-second Reagan spots, 60-second plugs, five-minute shows, and a full half-hour program that contrasts Nixon's gubernatorial defeat in 1962 with Reagan's victory over the "unbeatable" Brown, an appellation that could come as a big surprise...

...colleagues had doubts about his theory. McGee, it was pointed out, was aligned with Dr. Spiegel in the mind of the subject. Could the subject have been made to tell his story to the FBI? The current experiment did not answer that question, but to Dr. C. Knight Aldrich, a psychiatrist at the University of Chicago School of Medicine, the Spiegel film was nonetheless persuasive. "I am not saying that testimony under hypnosis has no place in a court of law," he said, "but it must be viewed as not having superior validity. Courts should be highly skeptical of testimony...
