...search for the black professors will also raise a moral dilemna for Harvard. Since most of the nation's Afro-American specialists are now teaching at small black colleges in the South, any success that Harvard has in attracting black professors will come at the expense of a debilitating brain drain from the Southern colleges. The attrition may be fatal for colleges like Miles and Tougaloo; and for many Southern blacks, those colleges are the only educational openings available...
...Americans, particularly in times of rapid and threatening change, have turned protectively in upon themselves, their families, their jobs. That is an understandable but fallacious approach to individual or collective life, since every American citizen stands to benefit or suffer as his whole society succeeds or fails. The success of the American experiment, as Thomas Jefferson argued in a somewhat different context, will depend on its success in "enlarging the empire of liberty." That is no longer true in geographical terms. In social terms, it has never been a more urgent task...
...make the ghetto a high-profit magnet. For example, it could give bigger tax write-offs for ghetto investments, cheaper loans, and guarantees simi lar to those it offers to U.S. investors in underdeveloped countries. The inducement of tax holidays made Puerto Rico's Operation Bootstrap a resounding success. If the business man and the Government looked at the ghetto as an underdeveloped country, they would in fact see one of the world's greatest potential markets. If black incomes were brought up to the white level, businessmen would have a new market of about $20 billion a year...
...well-smashed plate expressed approval of the local bouzouki music as well as the manly exuberance of the thrower-presumably well-fueled on ouzo, the potent, anise-flavored Greek liqueur. Performers measured their success by the depth of the debris around their feet. Taverna owners loved it, since they were able to pay their bands by selling crockery to customers for up to a dollar a plate. In recent months, however, good times à la grecque were getting wilder than ever: bored with just breaking things-and perhaps bored, too, by the puritanical reign of Greece's military junta...
...third world will not be achieved separately. And if they are achieved through a common struggle against common enemies, than that, for me, would be a fairly good working definition of a revolution. Let me add, that I have no doctrinaire view of history which guarantees my success or anyone else's, and neither did Marx, nor Lenin, or Mao. If we fail, we fail, and who is to say that our tragedy will be more debasing than the force of most modern liberal politics and culture...
