...Birmingham's bitterness. It is significant in the contemporary South that Alabama's largest city (pop. 295,686) has become a model of Southern race relations.

With their fair skin, reddish hair and blue eyes, the Khazars were not what is usually regarded as Semites. They spoke a kind of old Turkish, but their origins remain hidden...
