More From Antonia Fraser

Many white people are not sensitive to the kind of abuse that african americans, especially younger african americans, receive at the hands of police officers and police departments. i think for most whites their experience with the police has been good or neutral because they don't interact with the police as much as those in the black community.
Thinking White Hands
The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. a man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. but the deserts of every brother are not the same.

Well can i just make a point about the numbers because people talk a lot about police numbers as if police numbers are the holy grail. but actually what matters is what those police are doing. it's about how those police are deployed.

Crime in the city streets is more than a political issue. it's a too rampant fact.... in indianapolis they have come up with a most sensible, affordable approach to the problem. policemen are assigned their police patrol cars for personal use after hours. they are encouraged to use the police car while taking the family shopping, to the movies, and everywhere one takes one's family. as a result, says the police chief's assistant, we may have as many as 400 cars on the street instead of 100 or so per shift. [and] the presence of the police car obviously indicates the proximity of policemen.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

I'm not a guy who curses very much in my personal life. when i curse it sounds like a kid trying to be cool. but i think there are quite a few people, my father being one of them, who use curse words rather eloquently.
