"Ian Rankin once explained to an interviewer (the head of the Indian Communist Party!) that crime fiction is a way of talking about social inequality. Ron Jacobs applies that same maxim to the Sixties... in his wonderfully noir trilogy of those exhilarating and troubled times. And what Rankin does for Edinburgh, Jacobs amply illuminates for the Movement. Much much more than ripping yarns (though they are that too), from a master who's been there, done that, and lived to tell a tale or two."

Sharpening the Contradictions from the Fifty Yard Line
When I used to watch Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas and Joe Namath throw the ball back in my earlier years, it seemed most NFL players were white. They were also assumed to be very patriotic and supportive of the US war on Vietnam and in favor of the more conservative side of US politics. Whether or not this was as universal as it seemed to be is hard to say since NFL players were not known for expressing their political views in public.
