...study of the black family in which he alleged that a "pathological" matriarchal structure was in part responsible for blacks' inferior socio-economic status, and from a memo to former president Richard M. Nixon suggesting that the Administration cool the volatile political climbate by adopting a policy of "benign neglect" on racial and urban matters. Although Moynihan has said repeatedly that the "benign neglect" remark was quoted out of context, and that his purpose in the black family study was to advocate the establishment of government programs to aid blacks, there remains a considerable amount of anti-Moynihan sentiment among...

From the rolling, red-earth slopes of Burgundy, whose minuscule vineyards might have been stitched into place by the Gobelin tapestry masters, to the gravelly, gray fields of Bordeaux, where sunny days are normally counted like pearls, the long, sultry Cézanne summer has wrought wonders among the grapes.

Bubbling over with ideas, he sometimes lets his thoughts race ahead of his prudence. But so far he has not made another gaffe on the order of "benign neglect," the phrase taken from one of his memos to Nixon and gleefully misinterpreted by his enemies. Moynihan was urging a moratorium on harsh racial rhetoric, but his words were twisted to make it appear he was recommending the neglect of blacks. For this and other dubious reasons, most black leaders...
