...Nigger, Get Out!" Among whites, the fiercest prejudice is found in the lower-income ethnic enclaves where jobs and homes are most immediately threatened by the Negro trying to break out of the ghetto. "We have our own section here," said a storekeeper in South Boston. "Why can't the Negroes be happy in their own area?" Chicago's "white riots" against Negroes who were demonstrating for open housing were fomented largely by first-and second-generation Americans-mostly of Irish, Italian, Swedish and Eastern European ancestry-who have a long history of ethnic animosity...
...live among the Poles. It's the same situation." Last month, when A. Gordon Wright, Midwest director of the Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration and the son of a millionaire, moved into exclusive Grosse Pointe, Mich.

"Our relationship was that of father and son," says Ben, who tried to teach Jack all he knew; to the vast annoyance of Jack's wife, he is still trying. For a time, Ben was, in his words, "a red-hot Socialist" who railed on street corners...
...books mirror the savage and embittered cynicism that lies on the other side of humor, and all of them are touched with violence and the despair of a man who courted the values of his time and despised himself for doing so. The raft on which Huck Finn and Nigger Jim drift down the river was Twain's own fantasy solution for evading nemesis. It was where he longed...
