...will no doubt receive a good many shocked letters assuming that computers are gigantic monsters ready to turn on their creators. I, for one, am perfectly willing to believe that the computer will remain a docile slave. But whose slave is it going to be? As far as I can see, the only people who will not lead an aphid-like existence in the future will be a very small group of scientific experts whose exclusive knowledge and interpretation of the mysteries of the Unfathomable Machine will give them powers far greater than those held by any similar elite...
...most degrading tasks-including the clearing of corpses from samurai battlefields. Etas perennially try to "pass" into respectable society, often commit suicide if caught. The 600,000 Koreans in Japan are called "senjin," the Nipponese equivalent of nigger. Japanese look down on them because Japan ruled Korea as a slave state for 35 years.

But the symbol of Selma is Sheriff James Clark, 43, a bully-boy segregationist who leads a club-swinging, mounted posse of deputy volunteers, many of them Ku Klux Klansmen...

Africans, after all, willfully sold their kith and kin, your ancestors and mine, into slavery to the New World. What is more, the African chiefs and middle-men who participated in the slave trade were aware that thousands on each slave ship would die like dogs of diseases before reaching their destination in Brazil, Guiana, West Indies, or the American South. This, I'm sad to say, is little different in my reckoning from the Germans' participation in the Nazi regime, knowing that...
