There are two traditions of rebellion against racism in Black history, and they contain the origins of our two movements. One is a tradition of protest, which Martin Luther King took up. With this approach, one seeks to change some aspect of the society, but fundamentally the protestor accepts the basic framework of the social order and the first principles of the nation; in our case, with King, he reasserted, in fact, the principles and freedoms found in the American Constitution. King often spoke of a rededication to these ideals. He even saw civil disobedience as derived from the American...

Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, who favored the "big bird" scheme of putting the MX on continuously flying aircraft, last year urged that the MX be placed temporarily in specially hardened silos that now contain the Minuteman, the nation's dominant ICBM. The 1,000 Minutemen currently deployed carry a total of more than 2,100 warheads. Congress rejected that option on the ground that the MX would remain as vulnerable as the Minuteman is claimed to be, because new Soviet rockets are so accurate that a first strike could conceivably wipe the MX out. The lawmakers threatened...
