...Dirksen amendments, the Attorney General could not institute such suits for individuals. He could ask the court, however, to permit him to "intervene" in such cases. If granted, that would mean that federal attorneys would help to argue the case. But if the Attorney General could demonstrate a community pattern of denying free access to public accommodations, he could file a federal suit, set forth his facts, seek a court order against specific proprietors whom he considered part of the pattern...
...report, the history-oriented courses in the Natural Sciences which the Redbook proposed had been replaced largely by courses which taught science per se. One effect the Doty Report will have will be to perform for the Social Sciences and Humanities (which have come along way from the monolithic pattern proposed by the Redbook) the legitimizing function which the Bruner Report accomplished for the Natural Sciences.

His "Once more unto the breach, dear friends" and St. Crispin's Day ("we happy few") speeches are not plunges of passion but sputterings of saliva...
...White Americans have degraded the Negro. Slaves were treated more shabbily in the U.S. than almost anywhere else on earth at any time in history. Their pride was systematically knocked out of them; families were broken up so often that a pattern was set, and even today they continue to break up with alarming casualness. In central Harlem, only half the children under 18 live with both parents...
