5:15 missing phrase. And under these lights the cast principle, which white society insisted on and to which the Negroes were responding in the first place—under these lights, the caste principle broke down.

PL Notes 7
4:21 repeat "which rings as"
4:32 missing phrase. Dualism is looked on as the natural division of absolute opposites, of enemies: Communism and democracy, Eastern man and Western man, native and foreign,
6:53 It still seems so to the vast majority, still is missing. (in this case it matters as the sentence is comparing past to present)

Thank you. I've got to adjust the size and width of the text on my screen so that I don't jump past lines!

1,2,3 marked PL OK and time on 1 changed in MW. I don't see how time didn't get shorter on 2 and 3 with the shortened disclaimer. Did you change those in the MW?

I did. Sorry.

I tell you, my brain is not working very well. It took me forever and ever to get Section 1 edited. I'll work on the others tomorrow.

And thank you!

PL Notes Section 8
14:25 repeat thus, thus spake

Section 9
15:24 repeat “You’ve got it all wrong. You’re in jail,” I said bitingly.
Well, this is right out of 1984, only for real! "You will work for us but if caught, you will not be helped in any way."

Section 10 is PL OK.
A lovely chapter on themes I've talked about for years: that democracy is an ideal to strive for, and while far from perfect, is the best thing so far invented for giving hope to the individual that he might reach his full potential. "Democracy . . . is a way of conducting affairs so that there is some kind of harmonious continuity in the direction of society."

One out of three! I'm improving!
