...tirade, unfortunately, is no exception. First, Milton Coleman admits to violating a confidence with Reverend Jackson--a confidence of the type that is common between reporters and political figures. His only defense--which shows that he knew he did something wrong--was that Jackson had allegedly made this remark among other Black reporters. However, on ABC's Nightline, one Black reporter, Kenneth Walker of ABC News, said that this "simply is not true...
That Mr. Kenxatta and BALSA could violate fairness and free speech for Jewish students indicates further their crass indifference to the unfortunate cleavage in national politics between some Jews and some Blacks, stemming in part from Rev.

Seeing Red is a comprehensive study of American Communists that allows one to meet the ideology of communism through the once youthful eyes of those who saw an America below their...
...next question the reporters asked Reagan to elaborate on a passing remark he had made about the need to restructure. Social Security. He couldn't. It will take months or years of study for the government to figure out what to do about the entitlement programs, and the President hasn't a clue what to expect...
