'Black Marks for the Red Cross (Is this a racist title?)'

The F.D.A. found shortcomings in the way the Red Cross screens donors for possible exposure to infectious diseases, .... among other deficiencies.

I don't know about the Headline being racist but here's a little personal anecdote....
During surgery in 1969 I needed a blood transfusion. Then the oddest thing happened when I finally got out of the hospital.

I threw away all my Beatles and Rolling Stones 'albums' and bought nothing but Motown. I even started singing Doo Wop and calling myself 'Smokey'.

oops, my bad

Too funny! When I went to Mexico for surgery, I needed a transfusion and joked with the nurse about whether my Spanish would improve - it didn’t!
