When the indgenous delegates documented the persistent ethnocide of the governments of the Western Hemisphere, we were initially met with shock, which quickly turned to rage. The Non-Governmental Organization participants joined in solidarity with our struggles and goals as well as in condemnation of the policies of the Western Hemisphere countries. The world must no longer listen to Jimmy Carter's oratories on the importance of human rights, when in fact he governs the nation that has been most successful in human rights abuse. South American governments follow the North American lead; documents show their concern for human rights...
...runway with fire trucks, Captain Schumann landed on an adjacent stretch of sand. After considerable argument, he convinced the terrorists that he should leave the plane to examine the nosewheel, which had been slightly damaged during the landing.

Russell's film never pauses to reflect on the significance of Valentino's legacy, however. The director seems too obsessed with the glory and worship heaped on the character to accommodate this biographical angle...
Stephens at times finds his relations with younger students somewhat unreal. He belongs, essentially, to a different social and political generation from most current undergraduates. In the spring of 1968, when King was assassinated, Detroit exploded in rage, and Stephens was preparing to enter Harvard as a freshman, today's freshman class members were sitting attentively in the third grade of elementary school. "At times, I feel like a relic," Stephens says. Still, he adds that he appreciates the respect others at Harvard have shown him. Oftentimes, Stephens says, other students ask him his opinion on social questions; many question...
