...present mood could suddenly change, and all the old bitterness and violence could come back redoubled by a new sense of failure. If whites in industry, in labor unions, in government, indeed everywhere, decided that the relative calm in the ghetto meant that they could relax rather than press ahead with fresh help, welcoming the blacks into all parts of American society, then the result could be racial chaos far worse than any the U.S. has yet known...

Before Ho was ten, a Hanoi biography says, his countrymen were press-ganged into road-building crews while Francophile mandarins "sipped champagne in the evening and milk in the morning." Ho once noted that until he arrived in France in his 20s, he had never been addressed...
