...Seventh's racial troubles are by no means caused only by black soldiers, who account for about 12% of the U.S. troops in West Germany. The blacks complain of harassment by white MPs and taunting by NCOs who threaten to "get me a nigger." Last week a Ku Klux Klan-style cross was found burning outside a Mannheim barracks: there have been at least two similar incidents at other Seventh Army bases.

Everything that happens is supposed to be very, very black because the money is hidden in a bale of Mississippi cotton, and the pursuing detectives crash into a watermelon stand, and everybody goes around saying "nigger" and "Is that black enough for you?" Biggest joke: when the detectives discover that a white man was in on the heist, Cambridge rumbles, "Honkies in the woodpile...
