Cosmopolitan. Romantics are still drawn by Morocco's legendary reputation as a haunt of smugglers, spies, white slavers, gun runners and bearded bohemians. The country has been occupied at various times in its history by the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Portuguese, the Spanish and the French-but it has never been conquered. With a coastline on both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, it is the westernmost nation in Africa, which may account for the fact that it was the first African state to sign a treaty of friendship with the U.S. -in 1787.

...ascendancy of color over black-and-white TV has now been established. Last year, for the first time, Americans bought more color-TV sets (5,800,000) than black-and-white (5,500,000), bringing the total of color-owning households to 19 million, or one out of every three in the U.S. Those homes, according to Nielsen, tune in an extra 42 minutes a day.

While this ancient virus infects only a small fraction of the country's 22 million Negroes, the Jew knows from bitter experience that it can spread with distressing rapidity. At the same time, some latent anti-black feelings have come to the fore among Jews?symbolized by the half-casual, half-contemptuous Yiddish reference to the "schvartzes" (blacks...
...landlords who, fairly or not, are regarded by the Negro as colonial exploiters. More often than not, the black child is taught?in a crumbling, inadequate public school?by a Jewish teacher. More often than not, the hated neighborhood welfare center, to the black a symbol of indifferent, domineering white bureaucracy, is staffed by Jewish social workers. "If you happen to be an uneducated, poorly trained Negro living in the ghetto," says Bayard Rustin, executive director of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, "you see only four kinds of white people?the policeman, the businessman, the teacher and the welfare worker...
