Furthermore those in our group who knew other Soviet citizens--primarily refusniks, Jews who have been refused exit visas, and nonconformists--saw another side of Soviet life and heard a different view of Gorbachev's reforms. Where the students were optimistic, many others saw a dismal future. One woman whose husband spent 15 years in a Siberian labor camp described the Soviet premier as "a man in search of power." And a long-time refusnik said, "Russia just isn't made for democracy. History proves it." When asked what she thought about the current situation, one woman abruptly answered...
...tough Englewood neighborhood of Chicago's South Side, Anne Claxton stands out for her bravery. The 44-year-old mother was returning to her home from a medical clinic when ex-Con Jamaljah Aliwoli opened fire on two rookie patrolmen who had stopped him for a traffic violation. Patrolman Daniel Duffy fell wounded, and Aliwoli shot wildly at the other officer, Gregory Matura. After wounding Matura, Aliwoli turned and began hunting for Duffy with his .357 Magnum.

"I wanted something with the largest possible moment of inertia and the smallest dispersion factor," he said at the time...
When Jackson campaigned in New York City, two separate groups of acolytes, maybe 500 each time, spontaneously gathered on sidewalks to stare at buildings in which he was holding meetings. Hundreds of supporters chased their champion down a dark street after nightfall on the north side of Milwaukee. Telephone calls jammed the switchboards at Jackson headquarters, and contributions poured into the congenitally ill-funded campaign at the rate of $60,000 a day. Small wonder that the populist preacher said with smiling satisfaction, "There is a kind of Jackson-action fever...
