Powell disavows the label of racist, or racialist as some Britons say. "What I would take 'racialist' to mean is a person who believes in the inherent inferiority of one race of mankind to another, and who acts and speaks in that belief," he explains. "So the answer to the question of whether I am a racialist is no." Moreover, he scoffs at the claims of his critics that his volatile choice of words encourages racist reactions in his listeners.

Household Names. Temporarily ruined them, anyway. Knox is now a country-and-western singer in Macon, Ga. And Bowen?

Furman's prescription: twice as much polyunsaturated fat as saturated...
...have been late with his car payments, and his personal file will record that without the mitigating explanation that he was ill at the time and unable to work. Another may once have argued with a department store over the quality of its merchandise; his credit report will label him forever as "antagonistic" or "a troublemaker." Yet another may be the victim of mistaken identity, sued for nonpayment of a bill run up by another person with the same name. The suit will be duly noted in his file, but not the fact that it was thrown out of court...
