...savvy. He is admirably equipped for the job. A great-grandson of Abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, Villard joined the Foreign Service in 1928 after graduation from Harvard and a brief try at teaching and journalism, spent the next 34 years in outposts from Tripoli and Teheran to Rio and Oslo as the U.S. inexorably enlarged its international role...

He does what Sheila Rush warned against and again demonstrates the danger that Negro Affairs faces. By lumping the "white community," even for a single sentence, Weaver begins the debilitating process of over-simplification. Moreover, his denigration of King's power sounds...
