Such is the mistaken image which has grown out of not only last year's riots, but also the controversial phrase "black power." For if hate is the motivating force in Watts, it is hate modulated by shrewdness. And regardless of how great a myth has been built around August '65, even the militants know that burning down your own house is a poor way to relieve frusttration...
With this exchange, the bill was clearly doomed. Against a backdrop of Negro-incited violence in the cities, the public showed little enthusiasm for new ventures into civil rights-and outright antipathy to the bill's open-housing section. What is disturbing the nation, in Dirksen's phrase, is "conduct, not color." Indeed, the Administration itself had lobbied only halfheartedly for the measure.

Rather than submit to the philosophy of black power, many moderates, both white and Negro, have left-or been forced from-CORE and S.N.C.C...
...worried about something, sooner or later TIME will write up the subject and relieve my mind. Thank goodness, TIME and its perceptive editors have finally gotten around to the subject of the middleaged. TIME calls the middle-aged the Command Generation, which is a felicitous phrase and makes you feel a little bit better already, doesn't it? So often a tactful phrase can change your whole picture...
