...something in common with Methodist hymns I had learned as a boy in Southern Illinois, and real kinship with the gospel music I occasionally heard coming from Black churches in that long-ago time when " separate" was still the law of the land, never mind about equal. Unaccountable as it may seem now, however, in the early 1950s, real Black popular music was almost never played on "while" radio stations. There was considerable consternation a few years later when people like Pat Boone started issuing Bowdlerdized 'cover", records of Black rock songs, and we all know where that path eventually...
...prove their masculinity to one another that they will do anything, including murder. An American soldier in Viet Nam described how, for no other reason than that a comrade led the way, he shot to death a girl he had raped. Sex and violence have an eerily close kinship as it is. Rape itself may be a form of murder, the destruction of someone's will and spirit. No wonder those same soldiers in Viet Nam spoke of dragging girls into the woods "for a little boom-boom."

Despite their seeming philosophical kinship, Gorsuch and Lavelle had a strained relationship. Friction between the two officials increased as Congress gave the Superfund closer scrutiny. According to colleagues, Gorsuch felt that Lavelle, who had worked for two years on Reagan's public relations staff when he was Governor of California, had been forced on her by the White House. Lavelle exacerbated matters by bragging about her ties with Presidential Counsellor Edwin Meese. Although Meese says he knows her only slightly, Lavelle referred to him fondly as her "godfather...
