Congratulations, Mr. Tagorda! You are now an honorary White Person (a person of no-color). You must now refer to yourself as a "Honky," affect a deep-South drawl, and learn to drive race cars.

p>When I was in high school (class of 1971), my SATS were circa 1400, I was a National Merit scholar, and my father was unemployed. We were broke. Had I been non-no-color, it staggers the imagination how much money would have been thrown at me. The National Merit Foundation gave me exactly zero. br> -- Jim Stevenson /p> p> NETWORK NEWS br> Re: Jackie Mason & Raoul Felder's In the Business of Telling Lies : /p>

One thing that has not, it seems, received attention is the conduct of Messrs. Sulzberger and Raines in the initial release they issued on the Blair scandal. In the midst of detailing Blair's every petty cash peccadillo and creative comma, they found time to highlight editor Boyd's "old-boy's-club" fostering of Blair's career. This is the only concrete example of management wrongdoing they initially chose to disclose; ironically, it is the only piece of genuinely professional behavior amidst the three of them. An African-American professional looked out for the career of another African-American man: how else exactly did the Jews, the Irish and the Italians make their way into the mainstream of American society?

Lucky for them the Newspaper of Record doesn't think there's a story there... br> --
