...Arab-Jewish modus vivendi has been largely preserved in Lebanon, where the Beirut government has been relatively easy on its some 7,000 resident Jews. "We have nothing to complain about," claims the head of Beirut's Jewish community. "Why should I go to Israel?" a Jewish real estate dealer asks. "Those people in Israel are practically Socialists, you know." Morocco's 50,000 Jews get along reasonably well with the government; emigration is permitted, and persecution is all but nonexistent. Tunisia's 10,000 Jews live quietly. There are only about 1,000 Jews in Algeria...

Teachers and headmasters, they said, made a point of minimizing racial and cultural differences; and in the process they squander one of the greatest advantages that independent schools can offer. Removed from the tensions of the city, white...
Another ghetto school that so far seems to have escaped real strife is Detroit's St. Martin de Porres High School.* The reason may be that its tough-talking Negro principal, Joseph Dulin, 33, believes in confronting students before they confront him. "Damn you, nigger," he exploded at a student recently. "You stole them gloves. Now I'm gonna give you ten minutes to get them back to me." Eight minutes passed. Then the petrified freshman was back, sheepishly handing over the gloves. "These people are your family, don't you know that?" Dulin lectured...
