ELDRIDGE CLEAVER, the former Black Panther activist, has a new
book out, "Target Zero: A Life in Writing.'' As he died in 1998, a
book tour is not expected.

stint in prison, helping found the Black Panthers and coining an
enduring expression.
He declared: "What we're saying today is that you're either part
of the solution or you're part of the problem.''

pants with a sock in front dubbed the "Cleaver sleeve.'')
