visibility which Malcolm re-
ceives from the media is due to
an unconscious sympathy on the
part of many reporters and oth: |
ers whith the notion of separat: |

colrn, who says, ‘I don’t want to
integrate your. neighborhoods,

cure your dope addicts and get
the people. off welfare” There

‘who think thistis what we're
looking for,"’ he went on.

of the fact that Mussolini ana
Hitler were able to build hos-
pitals and roads and get peo-
ple to goose-step, using hate as
