...proud to think of myself as a white liberal who hopes that America will one day include a 12 per cent Negro poor population, a 12 per cent Negro rich population, professions of law and medicine composed 12 per cent of Negroes, and so forth. This will be a most difficult thing to accomplish, and blacks and whites who want this to come about must be as tough and realistic as Mustafa Kemal's Turks, Castro's Cubans in the early years, and the Jews of America and Israel. There is need for strict population control, millions of federal dollars...
...fans will invade Augusta, trample its fairways and litter its clubhouse lawn; millions more will watch on TV. Only one of the competitors in U.S. golf's most prestigious tournament can win the $20,000, the green coat and the lifetime playing privileges, but all will leave proud that they were even invited to play at Augusta National, the club that three-time Masters Champion Jack Nicklaus calls "a monument to everything great in golf...
...hills around are well kept. Both by European and Israeli standards Nablus is a bustling, hard working, largely middle class town. Its inhabitants are no more likely to willingly accept any foreign occupation or loss of autonomy than the inhabitants of Haifa would be.

Brown broke in with a more fitting lead in: "When I got into town White called me up and believe me this man is 'Together.' So let's hear it for Swingin Kev." With that the mavor bopped...
...Collier's Friday Night (1909), The Daughter-in-Law (1912) and The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd (1914) are all set in the kitchens of proud, poverty-blighted Midlands coal-mining families like Lawrence's own; and all are variations on basic Lawrencian themes-the drunken father, the dominance of women, unrelenting intrafamily contests, and the devaluation of intimacy by privation. The plays are pure naturalism: the kitchen sink is never out of sight, and the weary labor of washing off the pit grime when the man comes home occurs in each of them. Yet, unlike the angry Osbornes...
