...white and middle-class: what do they have to do with my friends who work for revolution? With the young black woman carrying the banner of Third World Women's Alliance?

...gopher named Broke, a crow named Magnon, a donkey named Hodey, and another donkey (German) named Shane, a rabbit named Transit, a horse named Greeley, a sparrow called Agnew, an asp named Pidistra, an aardvark called A-million-miles-for-one-of-your-smiles. Also, reversing the order, a rat named Frank Lloyd, a collie named Melon, a pair of egrets called Miss Otis.
