...some 40 chapters around the U.S. The Panthers themselves refuse to give figures; echoing Malcolm X, they contend that "those who know don't say, and those who say don't know." The members include both men and women. Since the once familiar uniform of black leather jacket, turtleneck sweater and black beret has been so widely affected by non-Panthers, they now wear it less frequently. Panther funds come mainly from the 25? newspaper, which sells as many as 100,000 copies a week, and from speaking fees for Panther leaders-although law-enforcement officials contend that...
...USED TO BE that travelling home was a romantic act, a symbolic journey from the confines of college to an all-too-familiar house (memories of confinement). The two places were similar: they were both places you had to go to and stay awhile. Between them there was the voyage, a time when the people you met weren't the same people you've seen for the rest of your life. You'll probably never meet them anywhere but on the road.

Put 'em uuuup." Bert Lahr played the lion, of course, and like all his performances, it bore the mark of a unique talent. Most comedians rely principally on their tongues, and Lahr's scratchy voice, wobbly warble and gnong, gnong, gnong earned their share of laughs...
