The FutureTea Leaves and Taurus

Gva. 19 -President Nixon, on the advice of his psychiatrist, resists Pentagon pressure to nuke Cleveland, Boston, and New York, strongholds where the enemy troops have been able to gather because all our forces were off resolving a grassfire war between Chile and Laos.

Gva. 173 -Police in Seattle, Des Moines, Omaha, Dayton, and Berkelcy raid the Black Panther Party headquarters in their cities. But as they open fire, Quaker Puffed Wheat is shot from their guns. The wary Panthers off them all.

Gva. 178 -Attorney General Mitchell "solves" the Civil Rights problem by issuing an executive order to re-enslave all Blacks in the United States.

Gva. 179 -A respected Boston Black leader (identified by the only Bay Stater on President Nixon's special investigative committee on slavery, President L. Gard Wiggins of Harvard, as "Mister Shingaling 37X Boogaloo or something...") brings suit against the Justice Department on the grounds that the administration's move violates the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth amendments to the Constitution. The Government argues that all said amendments are unconstitutional because Blacks weren't allowed to vote on them.

Gva. 180 -Nonetheless, the Supreme Court rules 8-0 that "Blacks must be emancipated with all deliberate speed." Justice Hugo Black, mistakenly returned to Mississippi under the Fugitive Slave Act, was the only member of the court not voting.
