...view of this evidence of the contribution of the pre-1960s' black graduates of white colleges to th local elites in black communities, it is extraordinary to find numerous black separatist students at Harvard and elsewhere expressing the uninformed rhetoric about yesterday's black graduates of white colleges ignoring the black community. Indeed, today's black students involved in black solidarity behavior have somehow convinced themselves that such behavior serves, among other things, to ensure that when leaving white college like Harvard they will attend to the needs and interests of blacks much more than black graduates...

Although the Katangese have helped Neto's government in its continuing struggle with rival...
Economically, the province will have to pay for its formal independence. This does not mean that Quebec should not follow the separatist route if it expects substantial changes and benefits in other fields. The promise of real change, however, is lacking. It is by no means clear that formal independence for Quebec will do anything more than transform its highly nationalistic provincial civil service into a national bureaucracy...
