...situation is still unpredictable. But one thing is clear the people are no longer the same people. They have laughed together at the emperor's new dress. It is difficult to fool or menace or manipulate them in the same old manner. Times have changed. A new chapter in Chinese history has started. Modern democracy, a manifest destiny, is moving from the west to the east. People have learned that, instead of yielding their power to a handful of people to act under their name against their will, they must take control of their own destinies...

Jordan Gollub, who was born of Jewish parents in Philadelphia, managed despite that fact to become Grand Dragon of the Virginia chapter of the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In 1985 he was dismissed by Virgil Griffin, the self-proclaimed national leader of the anti-black, anti-Semitic hate group. Gollub contends that it was not his Jewish origins that led to his ouster, but an intra-Klan factional dispute. Undeterred, Gollub moved on to Mississippi and snaked his way back into becoming that state's Klan leader. Last...
