...guilt, though they've assuaged little Black misery. The neo-conservative reaction is fashionable; all manner of educated people parrot the idea that affirmative action equals reverse discrimination. All manner of educated people say "I'm sick of their act," as if Black anger, and the demands for its redress, are simply a tactic. And since, with some justification, that anger is undifferentiated, it often alienates the whites most likely to start some change, most likely to change themselves...
...devises an elaborate plan to save Isabelle's honor, spare Claudio's head, and unmask the culprits--his plan is so strangely convoluted--a series of lesser sins to offset greater crimes--that it is barely within the letter, and certainly nowhere near the spirit of the law. The redress of injustice is less than joyful, and certainly less than uncompromised.

Among the MacBride proposals: standards for news content, new codes of press ethics calling for a definition of the role of the press...
...people. But the increasing strains facing America's elderly do not find fully adaquate explanation in purely economic terms of resource allocation. Many other problems such as stereotyping, segregation, and discrimination reveal more deeply ingrained biases in our youth-oriented society. But President Reagan has promised economic redress, and his plans offer false comfort to his peers. His insidious reordering of American policy towards its senior members will be not only a tragedy for the aged--but also for the ages...
