"In a few short hours, the girl had come to represent all that was right and all that had gone wrong in America. [...] Politicians are masters of double speak. If the Mayor says that he 'trusts the Chief of Police will do all in his power to ensure that the right thing is done,' to the whites, it means that the Chief won't hesitate to hand a black man if it comes down to it. To the blacks, it means: don't forget who owns the police."
