...hypocritical of Rhody McCoy to expect the Jew to be more noble because of the persecution he faced but not to expect the same of the black man. And how conciliatory of him to state that black anti-Semitism is just following the mainstream of white antiSemitism...
...biracial society. The greatest obstacle to that goal is the tense mood of fear, mistrust and hatred that corrodes race relations. Although a majority of blacks still subscribes to the ideal of integration, the increasingly vocal militants preach an American apartheid that would ultimately isolate Negroes from the mainstream of American life (see box p. 23).

The recriminatory shriek becomes a chorus when religious fanatics also accuse Bok of ritual murder. The fixer is seized and imprisoned...
...trouble with seating house committee chairmen, members say, is that they are out of the mainstream of Harvard life. They're the ones who are always talking about whether coffee ice cream will sell in the House grill and about how to increase the attendance at those beer-swamped dances. One clear argument against seating house committee chairmen is that they're simply too busy with routine, but necessary, house chores. If the HUC is really anxious to end its super house committee image, dumping the house committee chairmen seems mandatory...
