supposedly disloyal organizations, none of which

United States. The Loyalty Review Board

Walls and Borders Do "good fences really make good
neighbors?" (666) Robert Frost's poem Mending Wall
examines this as a local issue. It can also be
interpreted as a global issue. Frost writes about
two neighbor farmers and how a wall between their
property effects the relationship between the two.
Taking a more global look at the issue, the
conflict in the former Yugoslavia relates to
Mending Wall. Perhaps "good fences" give people a
false sense of security. Robert Frost's poem,

Eleanor's personality would not allow her to take
a second off and now she had a new calling as she
moved towards a problem that was everywhere,
racism. It was clear to everyone that the blacks
were getting the short end of the New Deal Aid,
North and South. From the very beginning of the
Roosevelt programs, Eleanor said that the wage and
benefit scale should not be set lower for Negroes.

only 30 per cent of the world's GNP. Their per

other countries, and the divergence is still
rising. At the recent UN conference ...
