...speaking out. Although there is no evidence to support his thesis, Chicago-based Civil Rights Leader Jesse Jackson told an audience in Washington, D.C., that the Atlanta murders are part of a nationwide racial conspiracy.

Complains Camille Bell, head of the Committee to Stop Children's Murders (STOP) and mother of a victim, about the activities of such outsiders: "Those leeches follow us around and talk about 'the racist...

Gonzalez pointed out that between the Socialists and Calvo-Sotelo's ruling Union of the Democratic Center Party, such a government could claim the support of 80% of the electorate.
