...always painful to watch on old idol topple. This time it was embarrassing as well. Isaac Asimov's contribution to the anthology was an agonizingly moralistic little tale entitled "Segregationist." It's all about this surgeon who is a robot, you see, and he's trying to convince a VIP who's qualified to receive an artificial heart to accept a fiber heart instead of a metal one because he doesn't like to see "mongrelization" between humans and robots--except that you aren't suppose to know until the end that he's a robot.

Discovery in Jamaica. Until recently, Lane, 57, was a political conservative with segregationist sympathies. His dealings with non-U.S. blacks over the last two years, when he helped organize the Jamaica Citizens Bank (49% owned by Citizens & Southern), radically changed his outlook.

For the next 28 years, he dedicated himself to the black revolution...

"As the crescendo of black-militant demands rises," writes Haddad, "it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between the old-fashioned Strom Thurmond segregationist policy of 1948 and the modern Roy Innis separationist philosophy of 1968." Retorts Innis: "This society is racist and won't change." Nevertheless, the two have some grounds for agreement. "Roy and I," says Haddad, "are not such purists that we can't isolate a problem and discuss it. We can both agree, for instance, on the need for developing black institutions." They...
