...Southern Courier. As with the Courier's other seven reporters (all of them in their late teens to mid-twenties), her job is to look in on events that no other newspaper in Alabama would deign to cover - demonstrations by civil rights organizations, plans of anti-poverty agencies, racial killings, piecemeal gains in integration, and the oddities of Alabama life that are galling to Negroes but to which whites are generally oblivious...
...groups is likely to persist unless it becomes a matter of more general concern. We believe that what were initially at least technical problems have by their very magnitude been transformed into social problems with powerful legal and ethical implications. Specifically, we hold that where a group defined by racial or ethnic terms, and concentrated in specific political jurisdictions, is significantly under-counted in relation to other groups, then individual members of that group are hereby deprived of the constitutional right to equal representation in the House of Representatives, and by inference in other legislative bodies.

Lawrence called "people of primary colors." Today one can hardly define an Arab; the name spans a racial rainbow. "Arabs" may be squat Lebanese, tall Saudis, white Syrians or grape-black Sudanese. They include dollar-dizzy Kuwaiti, secretive Druzes, Gallicized Algerians and Christian Copts. Only about 10% are nomads, while most live in villages and cities (some very big: Baghdad, 2,200,000; Cairo, 4,200,000). Egypt...
