Putting all the blame on "white racism," one of the Commission's catch-phrases credited to Rosenthal, not only discourages Negroes but also does nothing to soothe the potential Wallace voter, Handlin said. Furthermore, "it might stir up some Negroes who read nothing but the newspaper headlines on the Report," he added...
...briefly last month when gangs of rock-throwing Negro toughs disrupted several United Bahamian rallies. But in the end, Pindling's record was the big issue, and voters had to agree that the chunky, soft-spoken moderate was running the country pretty well. Despite fears that Pindling would stir up racial tensions and frighten business away, the islands have remained calm, and both investment and tourism are on the in crease.

The nationwide impact of television is relentlessly nibbling away at Italian regionalism, making Italians in the south more like Italians in the north, and making both of them hunger for the good...
...hallucinogenic, the characters are monstrous, and the style is Beverly Hills baroque. Yet Condon's grotesque farce is often merely the truth as seen in the wobbles of an amusement-park mirror. The book, which drifted past most critics and customers recently without creating much of a stir, is not on a par with the mad master's Manchurian Candidate. But in its own way, it deserves a small place on the shelf that includes Nathanael West...
