...call the report a "shameless, vicious, political document," deliberately timed to embarrass him and full of "intemperate charges and conclusions." The next day Beame again struck out at the SEC, but added the banks to his hit list. "For more than a year," he said, "the SEC withheld and covered up the fact that the banks secretly dumped city securities from their own portfolios on the market.

In his 20s he left the South for Chicago, where he found relief from the physical brutality of Mississippi. But he was introduced to subtler forms of intimidation. If the whites no longer kicked him, they inevitably stepped on the spot that Wright was mopping in the hospital laboratory and tracked the dirty water around.
