Joan, you noted that First of all, institutionalized racism (officially sanctioned & legitimated racism) did not exist everywhere in the United States -- only in the southern states that had apartheid laws. It was the federal government, after all, that ordered the integration of Little Rock schools. And of course you are right. I am simply stirring the pot (a technique I learned from another journalist). But I fear you are dealing with legalisms on this issue. After all, prior to the supreme court decisions of the 1950s wasn't Plessey vs. Furgeson was still the law of the land? Another point: Hitler used a series of propaganda films purportedly proving atrocities committed by hairy, sub-human Slavic beasts against defenseless, virginal Aryan lasses in Poland to justify war. Serbia has mounted a defense for its actions by subtly claiming that it wears the mantle of the defender of European Christendom against the onslaught of the Moslem horde. You have been so good about sharing your thoughts on these issues that I will no longer complain when you wish to interview me. I remain your greatest fan. But I will never answer questions regarding my girth! Let us simply agree that I am somewhere between svelte and ample. TTFN, CTC
