...public view by treating us as caged animals whose behavior can be pointed at through cage bars. Well, sir, it won't work. We Black students are too proud of who we are to allow ourselves to be taken in by shallow, uninformed criticism. You make us laugh as we read the contents of your article, yet we cry inside to see that there are Black people among us whom we want to be able to, and should be able to look up to, yet are unrighteously and disrespectfully abused by.

Martin Peretz, now editor of the New Republic, is cast in much the same light--as a rabid McGovern supporter who also happens to be wealthy. "I had to laugh out loud at the irony of the situation," the author writes. In truth, of course, Peretz never supported McGovern, but that is almost beside the point. The Dick and Jane analysis would be pathetic by any standard...
