What was really shocking was discovering that the black world in America resembled the world I had left, the townships of South Africa -- the poor buildings, the bad roads, the hopelessness, the rage, the frustration on the faces of the black boys and girls I met. These were the same emotions I felt when I was fighting for my life under apartheid. Everyone in this country is an accomplice to what is happening in the black ghettos of America...
...boys' ignorance about their own backgrounds extends to religion. All were surprised when Markovitz told them that Christianity sprouted from Judaism. Until last year, three boys attended church regularly, but none could name his own priest. Nevertheless, Markovitz gave untiringly to his students, not once expressing any rage over their crimes. In return, the boys marveled at this forgiving little man who lavished so much talk and kindness and humor on them. "The rabbi is one of the nicest guys you could know," says Mike. The teens' parents concur, but they are also bitter about the public attention that surrounded...

There is a widespread belief that Singh, who enjoyed a large following among students because he stressed honest, "value-based politics," compromised those principles by setting aside the jobs for lower castes. Though Singh does have a history of commitment to social reform, it is also undeniable that he needed a stronger mandate to prop up his minority government. The affirmative- action decision not only gave Singh fresh support from a huge part of the electorate; it also undermined several of his political enemies who rely...
