...limited his sources through design and not simply out of laziness, we come face to face with the central problem of the book. If his goal was simply to recreate a drama and "to appreciate the impact it produced on that [original] audience," perhaps he was correct to restrict his reading. But an "objective reappraisal," by this definition, is only a watered down, flattened out version of the original story. No depth is added, no illumination attempted. Kubek and Belfrage asked the wrong questions; Thomas asks no questions...
Fogel and Engerman blame it on the racism of most Americans, an often unconscious racism that makes them take black people's weakness for granted and restrict themselves to trying to explain it as an inborn quality or, for the more liberal, as a consequence of oppression. In their epilogue, Fogel and Engerman say they wrote Time on the Cross to attack this view and to show that even under slavery, black people were among the most accomplished and admirable people in the United States, "to strike down the view that black Americans were without culture, without achievement, and without...
...prison officials regularly transfer leaders or troublemakers to other institutions, a practice now under attack as unconstitutional punishment in various courts. Some hard-line penologists are also seeking to overturn court decisions concerning the attorney-client privilege and are hoping to regain the right to censor prisoner mail and restrict the flow of supposedly radical reading material into institutions.

At this point Jaszi began the laudable Welles format of keeping a directorial retrospective going on in at least one of the theaters--the practice that has disappeared today. Jaszi, now a lawyer for the American Film Institute, also began the film appreciation class that...
...Marchetti, who is responsible for most of the book, and Co-Author John Marks, 31, a former Foreign Service officer, believe that the agency should not intervene in other nations' affairs in any circumstances. Pointing out the inefficiency of many CIA missions, the authors would restrict the agency to intelligence gathering and strip it of all its covert operations. That argument is sure to be aired fully once the book is published; for now, the CIA is arguing that the book is dangerous on narrower if no less vital grounds. It fears that the book will expose secret operations...
