Ultimately, Johnson declined the offer--and Gill, who faced "the sharpest of criticisms" from some Faculty members for extending an invitation to the commander-in-chief during the Vietnam War, concedes that the president's arrival "would have caused a riot...
...with a disturbingly cheerful number called "The Lynching Blues," in which the company happily dances to a song in which crimes for which slaves were lynched are listed. Migration to Chicago comes next, and with it, the astounding set and choreography of "Industrialization" and the tragedy of "The Chicago Riot Rag."

Yet Air Taser has been negotiating to supply thousands of electric-shock riot shields for crowd control to police in Turkey, where torture is "widespread," according to State Department human-rights reports. South Africa's new CMax prison for hardened criminals is considering buying Stun Tech's shock belt over the protests of human-rights groups, which complain that Nelson Mandela's government...
