This remarkable struggle has few precedents in U.S. legal history. And it stems largely from the character of Judge Durwood Pye, a scholarly white-supremacist. Graduating at the top of his class at Atlanta Law School, he became a formidable lawyer before becoming a judge in 1956. A stickler for detail, he has ground out opinions of more than 600 pages, once fined Atlanta newspapers $20,000 for contempt for describing a defendant's past, banned news cameras and tape recorders not only in his courtroom, but also on "adjacent sidewalks and public streets." At 54, Pye is tetchy...
...rifle shot west of this chink in the apartheid curtain, menacing reed banks mask the end of the Caprivi Strip, a narrow arm of South West Africa that is heavily patrolled by armed South African cops. To the east, a wire game-fence marks the border of white-supremacist Southern Rhodesia, which also views with suspicion this traffic in escaping Africans...
...Supremest? In Mississippi, where only 6% of the state's Negroes have the vote, the issue was who would be the supremest white supremacist.

Example: workers who have been in a city for 20 years or more may be sent back home at once if they lose their job. Others, after a lifetime's residence in South Africa, find their wives "endorsed out" * under the new restrictions if the women were born outside South Africa. In western Cape Province alone, 500 men and women are now banished monthly. Even worse is the plight of some...
...progressive and intellectually desirable relationships and patterns of behavior in American society union are neither bad nor good. The test is the consequences of the behavior of association rooted in exclusive forces. Thus one surely need not belabor the point that the use of exclusive norms by white supremacist associations in the American South is explicitly restrictive of the Negro's capacity to complete equally and adequately in society, while the use of exclusive norms by Jewish-American associations has been fundamentally permissive to progressive and intelectually desirable relationships and patterns of behavior in American society. Even so, in terms...
