Although his rhetoric can inspire, Cuomo must now show that his message can sell. His vague vision of the nation-as-strikes some as mushy old liberalism.

Conner sighs and explains, "What they're saying is, 'If I were willing to give as much as Dennis does, I could be as good as he is.' That's just an excuse...
...relentless toll stems in part from the breakdown of traditional authority in the townships. Of about 20,000 blacks who have been arrested since the state of emergency was imposed last June, many were local leaders who headed activist community organizations and helped maintain order in the black townships. With them now in jail, new and more violent leaders have come forward.
