...unemployment, the ruinous impact of inflation, resentment at all the public help given the still rising tide of refugees inundating southern Florida from Cuba-all fed the fury of the Miami area's 233,000 blacks. Yet perhaps more clearly than in any other recent race conflict, the rage in Miami focused on police, prosecutors and the courts. And when the three-day bloodletting was over, blacks had fresh cause to complain that some Miami and Dade County police had reacted with quick triggers and hot tempers. Most of the dead-and all of those killed after the first...
...increasing Latinization of greater Miami (the Latin immigrants now represent 37.5%). And though the new violence was not directly connected with the recent influx of Cuban refugees, that influx threatened to put additional pressure on the neglected blacks. But the McDuffie killing was itself a cause of rage. Judge Lenore Nesbitt called it "a time bomb" when she granted a defense request to move the trial to Tampa...
...solitary virtuoso, Picasso would from now on depend wholly on himself and his feelings. There would be no more collaborations, as with Braque.

But beneath the surface they have marinated in an odd, atavistic cross-cultural rage. Their anger has been ripened by the long spectacle of their nation's ineffectuality and the humiliation of the failed rescue raid, by the nightly TV pageant of Iranian mobs pumping their fists in the air and screaming death threats in Farsi, and by the image of Sadegh Ghotbzadeh...
...remember, if they can, the Persian prov erb: "Blood cannot be washed away with blood." Revenge has its undeniable satisfactions. It is a primal scream that shatters glass. But revenge is not an intelligent basis for a foreign policy. This century has already fulfilled its quota of smoke and rage and survivors, gray with bomb dust, staggering around in the rub ble, seeking what is left of the dead they loved...
