...product of a racist self-styled analyst, Hirschorn's tirade can be classified as an attempt to refine that schism. By tying worthless praise of Reverend Jackson's to the contingency that he support the Democratic nominee, and by suggesting that the destruction of the two-primary system in the South will hurt Black voters by leading to the election of Southern Republicans, he glosses over the fact that historically, Southern Democrats have been the most overtly racist members of the U.S power elite. Ultimately, it makes no real difference to the plight of Blacks in Mississippi if democrat John...
...genuine "Black-Jewish relations" which Reverend Jackson could have damaged is simply an illusion from which we urge Hirschorn to free himself. Furthermore, there can be no basis for any such relations as long as American Jews either defend, or silently condone.

Cobb also had a streak of hot temper that plagued him throughout his entire career and afterwards, making him a host of enemies and dissolving much of the reservoir of good will that would undoubtedly have accumulated among fans and teammates owing to his spectacular...
...transition from the dead-ball era of stolen bases to the Ruthian age of the homerun, but never really shows the effects this had on baseball as a business, except to detail the contract feuds between Cobb and Tiger owner Frank Navin. He portrays Cobb as an ugly racist, but doesn't ever explore what Cobb thought about the desegregation of the game after he retired. Answering these questions might have provided an interesting glimmer of insight into American pop culture during the years Cobb lived, 1886 to 1961. As it is, Alexander offers a penetrating psychobiology...
