Before you're so fast to throw in the towel, maybe you should read the
Ditammaso article Mark posted. A few clipping out of context whether they be
from letters or from stories does not a racist make. This is sheer folly to
praise a few clips (I was already aware of these) as axiomatic of Howard's
guilt. You merely feed the flames of ignorance. Clips like that without full
disclosure and in-depth analyses and exploration do absolutely nothing to
convince me, and hopefully any other person who understands the necessity of
scientific method and weighing ALL factors.
