...contributed 16.8 percent of total white income. At the same time the upper two-fifths of Black families contributed 70.1 per cent of total Black income compared with the 65.7 per cent of total white income contributed by the upper two-fifths of white families. Thus, while Jordan is quick to lament the failures of "white leadership." his simple-minded analysis bespeaks the failure of his own leadership...
...order to emphasize the mental concentration and the spiritual intensity of racing, Hudson treats nearly all the running sequences--training sessions, sprinting for fun, competitions--with the old foggy slow-motion treatment, and the symbolism weighs heavily.

Give the People What They Want works on many levels; the fast songs reflect the harried mood of Davies' self-destructive persona--"Yoyo...
...bosom of its native country--smuggling. Harry Sperling, "The world's leading expert in arranging that almost any work of art you've seen, any place in the world, suddenly turns up safe and sound in Switzerland, eminently exportable to the United States," explains his technique to Hoving, a quick study...
