Louis Farrakhan, Minister of the Nation of Islam and a prolific peddler of anti-semitic, chauvinistic and black supremacist doctrine, is the driving force behind this demonstration. The ostensible purpose of his "Million Man March" is to reaffirm the spirit of black manhood. Conrad Muhammed, a representative of Farrakhan, amplified this idea in a recent speech at the ARCO Forum. According to Muhammed, "If the black man continues to be the Achilles heal of America, then the future of America does not hold well."

Whereas contemporary prison labor specifically punishes the guilty...
...Timberg had been told that the nightingale cannot perform unless it first hears a few notes from another nightingale. His conceit is that in the '80s, Ronald Reagan sang the nightingale's song of patriotism and military pride and honor and sacrifice, a traditional American hymn of duty and manhood that Vietnam had silenced, or turned obscene. Timberg thinks three of the five men--North, Poindexter and McFarlane--got tangled up in the Rube Goldberg contraption of Iran-contra in part because the scheme (arms for hostages, profits going to the freedom fighters of Nicaragua) gave them back some...
