The majority of Negroes don't want to live in white areas, don't want to face the hostility and can't afford higher-income housing...

As one Bonn sociologist points out, the workingman uses smoked eel, sturgeon, venison, curried-rice salad, or even chocolate-covered grasshoppers to liven up his traditional light evening meal.
