The stories of three women o f

p.m.
The drama stars Karen Grassle,
LeVar Burton and M ike Farrell.
Grassle co-wrote the script with Cyn
thia Lovelace Sears after having
gathered material by attending sym
posiums on the problem, visiting
crisis units for battered wives and
talking with law enforcement o f
ficials.
Ms. Grassle appears in the role of
Susannah Hawks, and Farrell, co-
star o f M ^ A ’ S^H, plays her
husband, M ichael. B urton, who
starred in Roots and Billy: Portrait
of a Street Kid, appears as Andrew
Sinclair, whose marriage to Ginny
(C h ip Fields) becomes rife with
violent encounters.
Howard Duffy portrays an older
man who beats his wife (Joan Blon-
dell), and like the other two men, is
remorseful but unable to control
himself.
Despite the fact that the three
couples attempt to deal with the
problems, they soon learn that the
alternatives are difficult and there
are no easy answers.
You’ve
caught the fever.
Now watch
our shirts sizzle.

ADDENDUM: BLACKS,
LAND AND TECHNOLOGY
by McKinley Burt
This recent series of articles (8/24 to 9/14/78) generated a great number of
phone calls and letters. There was, however, a common thread of inquiry in
respect to the last article, indicating a need for the following clarifications:
A. The 1940-1941 Department of Justice investigation, specifically specified
that the Harlem conspiracy (typical) was intended to prevent the creation
of any new buildings for either family or business occupancy — thereby
preventing any competition by either Black or white investors, AND
effectively maintaining the exhorbitant rents (often double that for com*
parable white premises) and overpriced consumer goods structure for the
poorest and most discriminated against group in urban America (my own
parents paid this 'skin tax' for years in St. Louis).
B. As reported in The Wall Street Journal — shortly a fter the W atts Riots —
not only were the White-Male-Only craft unions and City Hall involved,
but also, as in today's redlining, the Banks, Mortgage Companies, and
the hugs property-holding trusts representing Charitable, Educational and
Religious Institutions.
C. The investigation was dropped when, 24 hours after the December /, 1941
attack on Pearl Harbor, the entire group of Justice Department attorneys
was reassigned to the task of rounding up the Japanese citizens and
aliens for placement in internment camps.
D. In reference to the 19th-century development of racist-philosophies vizaviz
"The Manifest Destiny of the White Races."
1. The full title of Charles Darwin's magna opus on 'Evolution' was
"On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection" OR
"The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life."
2. It was Spencer who coined the phrase "Survival of the Fittest."
3. For a full overview see "Comparative Statistics of Blacks and Whites
in the United States: Behavior - Genetic Analysis and its Biosocial
Consequences," especially Jerry Hirscharticle. pp. 38837. (Portland
State University Library: E. 186.86, M53.)
