...linebacker-size Detroiter who joined the News as a Washington correspondent in 1956. The paper had been improving steadily even before O'Neill was named managing editor in 1968, but he is widely credited with making the first major overhaul since Chicago Tribune Co-Owner Captain Joseph Medill Patterson launched the original Illustrated Daily News in 1919. O'Neill, who was named editor last August, has split the paper into numerous local editions to improve neighborhood coverage, and retired many of the general-assignment veterans in the newsroom. They have been replaced by younger specialists who are expert...
Novak wants a coalition of minority whites and blacks based on equal ethnicity for all. Others disagree. Harvard Sociologist Orlando Patterson, himself black, thinks ethnicity was "possibly the only way blacks could mobilize" but sees white ethnicity, its successor, as an alarming "symptom of fragmentation" in society, and he believes it is tacitly or potentially antiblack. Some white minority groups would actually rather be all-American than be seen as a separate ethnic group.

Its first score came on a 22-yard field goal by Tom Patterson, that bounced on the crossbar and through the uprights...
Much of the book was written at Harvard. In a fascinating study of Chinese in the Carribean, Orlando Patterson, professor of Sociology, comes to the conclusion that ethnic allegiance is not as powerful as Glazer and Moynihan make it out to be. Richard Pipes, professor of History, discusses nationality problems in the Soviet Union, and Martin Kilson, professor of Government, presents a case study of black political attitudes and activity during the late '60's in the context of increasing black ethnicity...
