...seemed conceivable that Ray, as well as Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas and Sirhan Sirhan in Los Angeles, might all be cogs in a single, stupendous murder machine. The killers, Capote suggested on NBC's Tonight show, might all have been intensively trained, brainwashed triggermen of a type envisaged by Novelist Richard Condon in The Manchurian Candidate; their purpose could be to drive the U.S. to its knees by assassinating public persons-a theory, Capote claimed, that was once expounded by 19th century Theosophist Helena Blavatsky.

Today roughly 70% of the releases that reach the bestseller charts are produced by the 100 or so independents now at work across...
Perhaps the most critical role of academic urban research is that of contradicting some of the shibboleths--including liberal ones--which guide policy-making. (The Coleman Report, for example--not a Joint Center product but of the same type--has shaken up educators by indicating that a number of factors "obviously" related to classroom performance appear to have no bearing on performance...
