...others to see them. The reality is more tragic. They refuse to see themselves! Instead, many take refuge in the rhetoric of "racism at Harvard" as though matriculation at such heavenly institutions as Howard University or the University of Liberia was not an option. Still others wax "cosmopolitan" (borrowing Milton M. Gordon's term, read anglo-conformist) partaking of that sacred cultural narcotic: interracial mating.

"We slipped up," said Flight Director Milton Heflin. Human error had ruined the first space shuttle experiment in President Reagan's $26 billion Star Wars research program last week. Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, it turned out, had given the astronauts the wrong numbers to feed into Discovery's computerized guidance system.
