...seven years in the writing (and twenty years of thought) only to be accused of classic black emasculation. I assured him that such would not be the Harvard case: the audience would be racially mixed, and while he might anticipate familiar challenges I felt that a stimulating balance would prevail. "Are the blacks gonna picket me?" Styron asked on arrival. My God, I hoped not. "They picket me everywhere I go," he said a bit wearily. We passed a pleasant afternoon doing equal damage to a fifth of Scotch and our respective livers...
...argument has obvious flaws. With former fedayeen at its helm, Jordan might march against Israel before the advocates of peace have a chance to prevail. Further, there would almost certainly be a savage internal dogfight as the leaders of rival factions struggled for paramountcy?and the battle would be complicated by the presence of Jordan's Bedouins, who make up 35% of the population and despise the fedayeen.

That, of course, is what the "revolutionaries" of Marin County were attempting with such bloody results. Vigilantism appeals not only to conservatives; it is no accident that S.D.S. members, too, loved the John Wayne of True Grit, last year's western in which Marshal Cogburn...
...controlled, and the top jobs are held by whites or a handful of privileged blacks. The fact is, however, that the Caribbean's natural resources are relatively scarce, and even if all the industries were run by blacks instead of whites, a serious shortage of jobs would still prevail. Unemployment is rising and the birth rate remains high; 62% of Trinidad's population are under 25. To make matters worse, the Caribbean's traditional safety valve-emigration-has been almost shut off by both Britain...
