Jarring Eloquence. Black Power spokesmen shrilled murder, claiming Hutton's hands were raised; seven other Panthers were taken prisoner without further shooting. One, wounded in the foot, was Author Eldridge Cleaver, 32, whose jarring eloquence bares the pent-up black rage that inspires the Panthers' snarling intransigence. "We shall have our manhood," warns Cleaver, the party's information minister, in his recently published book Soul on Ice (TIME, April 5). "We shall have it or the earth will be leveled by our attempts to gain...
Congress' reaction to the 1932 kidnap-murder of Charles Lindbergh's baby son was shock, rage and a stiff law: "Whoever knowingly transports in interstate commerce any person who has been unlawfully kidnaped and held for ransom or otherwise, shall be punished by death if the kidnaped person has not been liberated unharmed and if the verdict of the jury shall so recommend." Last week, on the basis of the jury verdict last clause, the Supreme Court struck down the Lindbergh law's death-penalty provision...
...Image. King was more concerned with his planned "camp-in" of poverty-stricken Southern Negroes in the nation's capital, planned for April 22. There, as he wrote in a news release that reached S.C.L.C. supporters the morning after his death, he hoped to "channelize the smoldering rage of the Negro and white poor" in a showdown demonstration of nonviolence.

Hitler's Rage. Jesse Owens Returns to Berlin, syndicated by Sports Network Inc., stirringly recalled the Summer Olympics of 1936. There was chilling footage showing more than 100,000 fans hailing Adolf Hitler as the games were opened. The test was on for the Nazis' myth of the master race. Closeups caught the Führer clucking with pleasure as his Aryans competed in the qualifying heats against the U.S. team with its Negro stars. But then in the finals, as Owens, the Alabama sharecropper's son, won one, two, three and finally four gold medals...
Indeed, for all his rage, Cleaver himself cannot help noting that the Negro male spirit is inexorably and literally shaking loose in the twist and the "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!" of the Beatles-a musical style that was hijacked, he says, from Ray Charles. The Beatles, argues Cleaver, constitute a "soul by proxy"; they are the middlemen between the white mind and the Negro body. In oversimplified terms, this suggests that the more the white man learns to shake his body and loosen up, the more he will penetrate and come to understand the Negro psyche. An interesting thought-but will...
