Cleaver took another sip of red wine. He only drinks red wine, he said. All this red wine and soft talking lent to the image of the new Eldridge Cleaver, who is really quite a relaxed guy. Not at all what you'd expect of a former convict, rapist, Black Panther Minister of Information, best-selling author of Soul...
...where do these pants fit in with the old image of Cleaver, rapist? In Soul on Ice, he wrote, "I became a rapist. To refine my technique and modus operandi, I started out by practicing on black girls in the ghetto--in the black ghetto where dark and vicious deeds appear not as aberrations or deviations from the norm, but as part of the sufficiency of the Evil of a day--and when I considered myself smooth enough, I crossed the tracks and sought out white prey.

...like an impotent rapist, or a scholar with writer's cramp. Harry Moseby gets everything set up--then he can't make the last move.

I don't have to buy food-nothing...
...same ways, the white heroine Janie (Hilary Jean Beane) is the most pathetic of all. Bullins has drawn a masterly portrait of a befuddled, innocent, college-educated liberal. She professes to admire the poems of Monty (Adeyami Lythcott), her eventual rapist. But it is clear that she is drawn to a black man as by an intoxicating musk and a not-so-fantasied danger. Bullins' Monty is a street stud who has climbed out of the ghetto without shedding his skin. With "Miss Janie," as he tauntingly calls her, Monty does not so much wish to make a score...
