...labeled a leftist for his defense of radical labor unions during the 1920s and 1930s, the A.C.L.U. also came to the aid of Darwinian high school Teacher John T. Scopes in the "Monkey Trial" of 1925, won free-press rights for Jehovah's Witnesses in 1938 and defended neo-Nazis in recent years...

All manner of educated people say "I'm sick of their act," as if Black anger, and the demands for its redress, are simply a tactic. And since, with some justification, that anger is undifferentiated, it often alienates the whites most likely to start some change, most likely to change themselves...
...apparent as soon as the first-round results began to trickle in on the evening of June 14. Surpassing even the most optimistic polls, Socialist candidates won 37.5% of the popular vote?half again as much as Mitterrand's first-round total on the April 26 presidential ballot. The neo-Gaullists and Giscardians took 20.8% and 19.2% respectively...
