...freedom that at best will be meager and mean. Their children could be racially classified as coloreds and sent to possibly inferior schools. And because of remaining race-restriction laws, a white and nonwhite married to each other still will technically be forbidden to live together in the same neighborhood, or travel on trains together, or go together to most beaches or movies. "I might share my bed with a white woman at night," said one colored M.P. last week, "but when we go out in the day, we have to go separate ways...
King, 51, is enjoying the fruits of a long climb up the broadcasting ladder. Born Larry Zeiger in Brooklyn, the son of a neighborhood bar-and-grill owner, he broke into radio literally at the bottom, sweeping the floors at a small station in Miami. He soon became a disk jockey and by age 25 was doing his own morning talk show from Pumpernik's restaurant. A variety of financial problems interrupted his radio career in the early 1970s. But in 1978, Mutual offered him a job as host of a fledgling all-night talk show. Starting with just...
...fear at the sight of the bodies in the river. I saw not a single fish. That river was always full of fish. The whole area between my school and the Miyuki Bridge had looked so different.

When the judge ordered thousands of students bused across neighborhood lines and created nine new school districts, parts of the city erupted in riots and demonstrations. The fighting subsided, but schools deteriorated as whites and middle-class blacks fled. Garrity, an unassuming, private man who seemed puzzled by the furor he was creating, stuck to his course, issuing more than 400 desegregation directives so complex that some students were carted to a different school every...
...Bach has little remaining regard, endures. It was ecstatically reviewed in London when the uncut version was released there in 1983 and actually brought a few dollars' profit into the distribution coffers. Technology will ultimately settle the score. The full version of Heaven's Gate is available at the neighborhood video store in two cassettes that are about the size and heft of Final Cut. The book is good, but, as it turns out for once, the movie is even better. The business will not appreciate the irony, nor is it likely to learn lessons from any of this. Final...
