...When is a Latino an African?" I would actually love to know when a Latino is ever an African. I have no idea when that is ever the case. I would have been intrigued to hear Colescott's own perspective on the question, but, of course, he did not share...

The protagonists in both novels exacerbate their problems with costly affairs, and the two books also highlight...
...Harvard football team--your team--gave a tremendous effort all season, with mixed results. Those of us who attended the Yale game recognize that by most measures Harvard outplayed Yale--in a game that saw its share of errors, bad luck, reversals of fortune and redemption (for Yale). Harvard did indeed lose, but our team played its heart out, as did Yale. You should be ashamed of yourselves for that editorial. MARLYN McGRATH LEWIS...
