Although the cardinal has already turned over many duties to his six auxiliary bishops, the Pope asked him to carry on. "I accept this decision," said the cardinal, "as God's will...

This is why the poverty program, aimed at the "culturally deprived," is regarded by the nationalists as just another tool of the white man. In a conversation over why I, the White Student Liberal, was tutoring in Watts, a nationalist said, "Your job is not to tell those kids that they're as good as you are, but to prove that you're as good as they...
