...unsatisfactory," but it offered little documentation for that belief. The Cliffies participating in the coed experiment this semester-who would seem to be the group with the most informed opinions-have not been consulted in any systematic fashon. And the results of polls of Radcliffe students can only reflect a vague preference for a certain ratio. The committee's point that Radcliffe students do not want to be "small islands within seas of men" ignores the reality that Radcliffe students are outnumbered by a four-to-one margin...
Most proposed solutions for getting more blacks on juries seem to raise more problems. Proportional representation, besides limiting the lawyers' rights to peremptory challenges, might yield only one black per jury, plus absurd demands that juries precisely reflect all other groups-Jews, Chinese, Indians, Catholics and so on. Some reformers urge another method: racial quotas. They might be held unconstitutional if applied to jury selection, and almost certainly would be unwise.

...McIlvaine, whose Into the Mainstream enlivens the rear wall of a store in Chicago's Lawndale ghetto. On The Wall of Respect, at the corner of 43rd St. and Langley Ave. in a desperately depressed part of Chicago's South Side, new scenes are frequently added to reflect changes in ghetto feelings. Originally it was dominated by athletes, peaceful marchers and popular heroes, including Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Now some of these have vanished beneath a wave of red paint, and in their place is a huge, malevolent Ku Klux Klansman under whose baleful eyes...
