...despicable, unfair, and undesirable. Of course, it is hardly surprising that those who benefit from it and those who would fail to succeed without such favoritism would attempt to conceal its true racist and sexist nature in some sort of warmed-over polemic. Yet such justification is not valid. Racism is racism, no matter who it favors and no matter what name it is given. You can call it "Affirmative Action" or "Aryan Heritage." One cannot logically or morally claim that it is illegitimate for a person's race or sex to adversely affect his evaluation by an employer...
...matter is taking place--under the direction of none other than Buford Simpson. In fact, Simpson is also investigating last Monday's walkout. Simpson, who epitomizes the institutional racism which exists at Harvard, is being called upon to conduct an investigation the results of which are to be considered valid by both sides of the dispute.

...refuses to repair or replace it. Understandably, the consumer then tries to withhold payment-only to find that his contract has been sold by the dealer at a discount to a bank, finance company or other lender. The lender proclaims, quite correctly, that as the purchaser of a presumably valid contract-in legal parlance, as a "holder in due course"-he has no responsibility for the merchandise but has a legal right to collect the payments. The consumer is stuck: he must continue paying for a no-good product that nobody will...
