...before the 1968 cointelpro "to disrupt the new left," the FBI focused much of its work into disrupting black nationalist organizations, the Ku Klux Klan, other race-hate groups--and the Communist Party...
...city's history; after the 1967 occupation of East Jerusalem, he was instrumental in preventing the Israeli government from tearing down the walls of the Old City. Since then, Kollek has built many parks, play grounds, community centers, libraries and clinics in East Jerusalem, thereby risking the charge by nationalist Israelis that he is "soft" on the Arabs.

The Dutch Reform Church has a firm grip on the Afrikaans populations, at least here in the heart of the Transvaal. And it has no qualms about legislating morality: there seems to be a need to prove that whites are morally superior, to justify their legal and economic control of the country. No drinking or soccer on Sundays; no pornography (though pictures of bikini-clad women are splashed everywhere in this incredibly macho society); and, of course, no interracial sex.
