...would seem, in short that the problem with present-day liberalism is partly the neglect of its own historical precedents. Hence the facility with which it rejects, with an historical air, contemporary expressions of particularism. (No doubt the use of particularistic norms by German Nazism assisted the current attitude towards particularistic groups, and this is understandable enough; but there is certainly nothing in particularism as such that would necessarily lead to the grotesque and barbaric consequences for excluded groups as Nazism did for Jews.) Moreover, in the case of the Negro's use of particularistic norms, a more serious neglect...

Others stay unemployed, huddle...
Many of these juvenile criminals hatch in a school system that one educator has labeled "a case of studied neglect." Into Washington's overcrowded school's each year pour 7,000 new students-95% of them Negroes. At Pierce school, a 69-year-old brick building with patched walls, peeling paint, and wrapping paper for window shades, nearly 400 students go to school in classrooms built for 280. On the third floor of Hine school (nicknamed "Horrible Hine"), litter and debris from a 1959 fire have yet to be cleaned up. The city's school dropout rate...
