...Harvard Committee Against Racism (CAR) has been holding forums all year to oppose the wave of academic racist theories emanating recently from campuses all around the country. Now, in Boston, the real danger of such ideas has become apparent. Notions of black inferiority are being used to whip up racist hysteria around the issue of integration, while the struggle of black and white parents for a decent public education for their children is severely threatened...
John Turner's production of The Plain Dealer deserves more attention and praise than it will probably receive.

Normally, that kind of defeat could force a government to resign. But Wilson has served notice that he would treat the results of a snap vote merely "with suitable respect, not exaggerated respect." Even if the Tories and Liberals combine this week to defeat Labor on the traditional vote...
