Mr. Smiley interviewed Mr. Gordon on his exit from the NAACP last night. You can check it online, definitely work safe, Real Media player and a telescope required. Ignore the teeny pictures, the audio is where it's at. It's like four minutes.

And here's the thing...what is the National Urban League doing that the N.A.A.C.P. isn't?
This could be the first actual example of that domino theory thing strategists worry about all the time. And the only thing that can save the organization now if for the local offices to form a network and secede.
