Carmichael, the former Southern civil rights leader who has spent the last two years in Africa, spoke to a crowd of nearly 1000 in Wellesley College's Alumnae Hall. The 200 blacks in the audience sat in a blacks-only section at the front of the hall, keeping the white crowd away from the stage...
...threat" which prompted President Wilson in 1918 to contribute thousands of American troops to a 14-power invasion of Siberia. This invasion, which was undertaken to aid the remnants of Tsar Nicolas' army and other anti-Bolshevik forces who were attempting to topple the new Soviet government, precipitated a civil war which was to last three years and claim 12 million Russian lives.

S. policy towards Greece-full military, political, and economic support-clearly proves the worthlessness and horrible irony of the preamble to NATO. "The parties...

He is invigorating and honest in his ironies; for him, the K.K.K. and CORE share the same sort of motivation. He proceeds through the American Revolution, the Indian revolts, the Civil War, various agrarian rebellions and labor-management wars, before confronting his main topic: race riots, early and late. Rubenstein demonstrates that in each case the oppressed group's lust for independence-through integration or separatism-is so powerful, indeed biological, an urge that it will not bear indefinite frustration...
