...must everyone who does not support a black candidate be labeled "racist"? Is every black candidate naturally better than every white one, regardless of accomplishments...
...immediate problem is how the elections are to be brought about. The Communists demand Thieu's departure from power, or at least a coalition, even before elections are held. They imply that if elections took place with Thieu in command, he would have an enormous advantage at the polls, regardless of any kind of international supervision that might be devised.

From many observations, Sternbach concludes: "The quiet, brooding, anxious and resentful individual is the one who is most likely to have symptoms of pain and is least able to tolerate them." By contrast, victims of the more crippling emotional illnesses, the psychoses, are far less likely to complain of pain...
