That doesn't mean that it never will. "He doesn't want to launch a whole new round of expectation and speculation," Michael says. "But that's not saying that come August, if asked by the candidate, his answer would be absolutely no. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he was in government again as secretary of something or even Vice President. And I'm not entirely convinced he wouldn't run in 2000. He's only 58.

Unlike most large Washington demonstrations, this one lacked any specific legislative goals. Those will be set, Farrakhan insists, at a black-leadership summit next month. He plans to launch a nationwide voter-registration drive to make African Americans into what he calls "a third political power," uncommitted to either of the two major parties. But this is an age of budget cutting and hostility toward big government. And it follows three decades of federal programs that seemed to grow at about the same pace as the pathologies of the ghetto.
