...their bodies were disjointed. A white boy depicted Negroes as more animal than human. By the time they are three years old, Coles says, black children are already learning the values and fears of the color caste system.

In fact, many seemed to gain strength from their awareness of the historical significance of their roles. Acts of courage by ordinary people were common. Coles could find no definite correlation between certain psychological...
...Thrust & Parry. "Y'all" is not so all-embracing any more. Despite a record 14.3 million membership, the A.F.L.-C.I.O. faces a simmering struggle with its most powerful single member.

The two horrified hippies smashed their way into the room. Carol later curled on the floor in a fetal position; her only sign of life was the rolling of her eyes...
...vacant this year-which suggests that the nation desperately needs a pool of skilled academic administrators. In the past, the grooming of college chief executives has often owed as much to chance as choice-a reluctant professor unexpectedly does well when his department's revolving chairmanship is thrust upon him, a dean displays a special talent for public relations or fund raising, a learned Government official wants an academic post...
