...that racism may still be a problem," says Urban League President John Jacob. More specifically, he cites "its efforts to give tax- exempt status to segregated schools, its fight against extension of the civil rights law, its efforts to undermine affirmative action, to destroy the Civil Rights Commission, to stack the courts with right-wingers, its support for South Africa's apartheid government...

Did our sign linking "Social Democracy from Harvard to London Financed by the CIA" upset the Big Liars in The Crimson basement to the point of shredding the wrong stack of photos? More likely it was a CIA-style "disinformation" on behalf of Harvard's fat bosses--and it stinks! William D. Hughes...
