...proud to be a white man. And I'm proud that I stand upon my feet and I stand for white supremacy. Not black supremacy, not the mixing and mongrelizing of the races, not the biggest onslaughts of the civil rights movement that has invaded your quiet little county, the Martin Luther Kings, the Arthur Spingarns,* the white Zionists that run that organization. The Zionists that run that bunch of niggers. And when white people join up to 'em, they become white niggers...
Typical was the disclosure that last year's harvest of bread grains was a huge 151.5 million tons compared with 1963's mere 107.5 million.

It has long existed in the hearts of some men. But only...
...final exam: "I got 75. I'm sorry, I had pressure from my parents. I had to." Later, squatting on a deserted subway platform late at night to strum and hum folksongs, the two embrace all of a troubled generation's inchoate longings in one full, quiet moment. At such moments Nobody Waved Good-Bye conquers its simple ideas and tangled verbiage with cool cinematic assurance, turning a problem play into a poem...
