With important connections to publishing, and universities, with access to the major book reviews, they were able to pose as the vanguard of American culture when they were so obsessed with the two Joes—McCarthy and Stalin—that they were to produce only two artists, Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, who left town.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.”
