Back in 1958 I witnessed the expulsion of Boris Pasternak from the Writers' ( Union. Some even demanded that he be thrown out of the country. They called him a "pig rooting in our Soviet garden."

It alleged that Church Founder Joseph Smith had been led to the Mormon scriptures not by an angel, as Smith had maintained, but by a white...
...wearing the face of hatred. White- robed thugs from the Ku Klux Klan shouting "Go home, niggers!" Out-of- state zealots who call themselves Aryans and dementedly pledge allegiance to Adolf Hitler. Young kids too, in checked shirts and baseball caps, waving the Confederate flag. A few stones were thrown, and one woman was hit by a bottle...
