...order to find ideological and emotional sustenance for what I can now call the black racialist or nationalist view of the Black Experience. In this view of the Black Experience, the slave trade is seen as the beastly act of beastly White men--or, in Malcolm X's memorable phrase, "White Devils"--who without pity or remorse wrenched millions of Negro Africans from their ancestral homeland for enforced and dehumanizing labor in the Western Hemisphere...
...astonishingly mature performance which was first-class in all respects. His tightly sealed conception projected a powerful sense of unity. It also preserved the concerto's familiar yet still voktile interplay of traditional restraints and puckish invention. Unhampered by technical difficulties, Mr. Kalam was the master of every phrase.

But the virtue of this Caesar and Cleopatra lies in the words...

People think, in the plastic phrase of admen, that "photography is the wave of the future"; but they are generally unable to relate the airy abstract writings of Marshall McLuhan et al to themselves. Not only do people not know how photography works, but they don't know what it can do: most either think one needs a flash to take a picture out of the sun, or they think the camera is a magical mystery tool that might catch them doing...
