...disruption remains a sign to many of the deterioration of the once strong Jewish-Black alliance. Jews are upset by the positions of many Black leaders on the Palestinian question--Jackson himself met with YassirArafat in 1979 and spoke out for the Palestinian's need for a homeland. Some Jews think that these Black leaders lack and necessary qualifications and experience to enter the debate on the Middle East: Blacks resent these attempts to limit their views.

But an appeals court just as quickly struck down his order. After CBS aired the tapes, Takasugi denounced the network for "interference" in the judicial process...
...that Holy Cross were a mockery team of snow, standing before the sun of fair Harvard, to melt itself away in water-drops! Good Crimson, great Crimson, and yet not greatly good, and if its ability be sterling yet in Division I-AA, let it command an upset hither straight, that it may show Harvard what pride it has since it is bankrupt of the Ivy lead...
