DURING the campaign it was obvious enough, and the standard joke of reporters covering Nixon crowds was: "Five dollars for the first Negro." In November it was even clearer; fewer than 15% of the nation's black voters cast their ballots for the Republican ticket. It is doubtful that the figure would be much higher today...
...other side, unfortunately, is often more obvious and disheartening.

The obvious concern was: could I finish the last few miles? It became a matter of figuring, well, if I stop here and walk the rest of the way, can I still break four hours...
