Separate and Unequal
John Dos Passos wrote these words in The Big Money (1936): “all right we are two nations.” His target was nativist rot, and he quite nearly applauded the antinativist rage—a bomb-chucking rage—after the 1927 execution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. The Kerner Commission wrote these words decades later: “Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, and one white—separate and unequal.” Its target was racist rot. President Lyndon …
F. B. Eyes

Over the past decade, Libya's international reputation has undergone a remarkable transformation. Previously a rogue state, Libya has been welcomed back into the international community after renouncing international terrorism and its weapons of mass destruction programs.
