...minutes each way to achieve a racial mix with a 40% black maximum in all schools. The system may be expensive, Merhige wrote, but such integration "is essential to equality of education, and the failure to provide it is violative of the Constitution of the U.S." As for popular sentiment against the consolidation plan, he dismissed that by saying, "Community resistance to change affords no legal basis for the perpetuation of racial segregation...
...this point, the film moves from left to right, as domestic sentiment takes over from hifalutin political ideas. Later episodes take Chaplin and his girlfriend into a department store at night, where the tramp blithely roller-skates blind-folded. On the brink of disaster, he is blissfully unaware of a stairwell until the minute he takes his blindfold off, at which point he cannot help but fall in. The movie contains several similar gems of poetic understanding of human predicaments. Chaplin, forced to work as a singing waiter, loses the words to his song, and is forced to sing...
...only is the film a mixture of sentiment and politics, but also a mixture of silent and sound.

If a teaching mechanism is unsatisfactory, let us criticize it openly, and not mutter under our breath way back in the 22nd row, We've got to get on to deal with the issues...
...That sentiment was echoed by Tajuddin Ahmed, who told me in an interview: The Nixon Administration has inflicted a great wound. Time heals wounds, of course, but there will be a scar. We are grateful to the American press, intellectual leaders and all those who raised their voices against injustice. Pakistan turned this country into a hell. We are very sorry that some administrations of friendly countries were giving support to killers of the Bengali nation. For the people of Bangladesh, any aid from Nixon would be disliked. It would be difficult, but we do not bear any lasting enmity...
