    "Neither Harkavay nor Booker had got the whole story - for one thing, That was adamant about not giving that smarmy little prick Frederick Clawson so much as a mention - but it was still good enough to rate a wider circulation than either the AP wire service or the book publishing industry's trade magazine could give."

    "Indeed some institutions and leaders acted at times as if this assimilation to the "American race" were more or less foreordained; The U.S. census, for example, counted the foreign-born and the children of the foreign-born as white, but in separate categories from whites whose parents were U.S.born."
