...more than anything else teaching ghetto students in incorrect language so they will "understand." Every individual I have seen in my life has his own unique laugh that has nothing to do with cultural background. There is no such thing as black eating habits. Eating habits of any particular family depend on occupation. Field workers who work sunup to sundown would keep a pot simmering on the stove so that they could dash in and grab a bite and dash back out to work again. But it is definitely a ritual among black people to sit down with their families...
...opposition parties cut heavily into the Alliance's majority in parliamentary elections. It became suddenly apparent that many Chinese were no longer satisfied with just economic hegemony, but wanted a protective share of the political power as well. Nothing was more surely calculated to frighten the Malays, in particular the Malay "ultras" (right-wingers), who have long preached the doctrine of Malaysia for the Malays.

This great boisterous celebration of death could only have sprung from such conditions as black men faced in America. Why it took the particular form it did in 19th-century New Orleans--the jazz funeral--is impossible to answer precisely. Black men found horns and drums and created a great music--a music that would express a powerful, heartfelt message. It was the blues, ragtime, spirituals, marching music dancing music. They lived by it; they played...
...President Pusey's appointment of a special committee to investigate "possible misconduct" by Faculty members during the April crisis. In a calmer emotional climate than the one Harvard now faces, it might be possible for the Faculty to consider objectively some standards of acceptable and unacceptable conduct. But the particular context in which this new committee has started to work makes its purpose seems repugnant...
