...study in the Jan. 9 issue of the journal Science presents strong evidence that even people who aspire to tolerance - who would consider themselves nonracist - still harbor unconscious biases powerful enough to prevent them from confronting overt racists or from being upset by other people's racist behavior. The authors say the results suggest attitudes so deeply ingrained that protective legislation and affirmative-action programs are required to overcome them. The results may even offer clues as to how other societies have spiraled into genocide...
...traditional tribal leader but chose instead to become an outlaw in his own land, a man who fought an iniquitous system, not one who abided by it. During the 27 years he was imprisoned by a repressive white minority government, he kept a vision of a nonracist, color-blind society in which white and black lived together in harmony. During his imprisonment, it was he who first stretched out the hand of peace to the government that deprived him of freedom. In the more than three years since his release, he has remained true to that vision, preaching reconciliation where...

...almost certainly will throw its weight behind former Governor G. Mennen Williams in his contest with Detroit's dynamic (and liberal) Mayor Jerry Cavanagh for the Senate nomination. It may also try to influence primaries in Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, and any other Southern state in which nonracist candidates may surface. In all, COPE will probably spend about $1,000,000 in 1966 on its three-pronged effort to register voters, promote the "right" candidates, and get out the vote...
