...only lasting solution won't cost a cent-but it will be the hardest to achieve." He then said this would require a change in men's hearts-in the way they see and treat their neighbors. No other white leader's remarks and few colored spokesmen have isolated and described so well the deep and festering wound responsible for the outbreaks-namely, the long-ingrained conviction and the sustained conduct in and by millions of whites that the Negro is an inferior person. The glib, commonplace expression "free, white and twenty-one" epitomizes this ghastly...
Jarring Eloquence. Black Power spokesmen shrilled murder, claiming Hutton's hands were raised; seven other Panthers were taken prisoner without further shooting. One, wounded in the foot, was Author Eldridge Cleaver, 32, whose jarring eloquence bares the pent-up black rage that inspires the Panthers' snarling intransigence. "We shall have our manhood," warns Cleaver, the party's information minister, in his recently published book Soul on Ice (TIME, April 5).

In one, chemical-warfare troops in training watched as three 155-mm. artillery shells containing a short-lived nerve agent were fired off in an area 27 miles inside Dugway's limits. Later that afternoon, 160 gal. of a more stable nerve agent were destroyed by fire in a disposal training exercise about 19 miles inside the proving grounds. Finally, a nerve liquid was sprayed from a jet aircraft traveling at high speed. But the spray had stayed well...
...more than they are anyplace else. What of the Kenneth Clarke's, John Hope Franklin's, Ralph Bunche's and James Farmer's? And before them, the E. Franklin Frazier's, Sterling Brown's and Horace Mann Bond's? All are and were top-notch academics besides being spokesmen for the Negro struggle in America. And each of them in turn know and could name scores of qualified academics who could teach even at Olympian Harvard. Of course much of Harvard's standard of competence is related to the prolific and compulsive turning out of books and to publishing...
