Laying some of the blame for the previous summer's inner-city race riots on the "white perspective" of the press, the 1968 report concluded, "The painful process of readjustment that is required of the American media must begin now." Last week many of the nation's top news executives attended the 13th annual convention of the National Association of Black Journalists in St. Louis to assess the progress of minority journalists in the 20 years since the report...

You can hear the Dylan of the early '60s in this version, making peace and moving along with his current incarnation, leaving behind in the process a reminder that many of his verbal, as well as musical, skills were drawn from a master. Guthrie foxed around with being just folks, but it took a writer of superlative skill -- not to mention sophistication -- to mingle folklore, radical politics and social satire as supplely as he did in Pretty...
