Last week the whites got a chance to express their feelings when a record 50% of Denver's registered voters turned out for the school-board election.

He appears passive at first, a quiet-spoken man with unpolitical pale blue eyes. Few casual observers would guess his reputation as one of Ohio's most formidable debaters. During the campaign, Saxbe not only refused to debate him, but his staff had orders to make sure that he and Gilligan were never in the same building...
