<<The use of "man" (for emphasis) and "baby" and "cat"
all occur within direct speech. You'd have him rewrite
his informants' words in "good" English?>>

What are you talking about?  He has rewritten his
informants' words.  He has a half dozen "quotes"
attributed to they, them, others, no one.  He writes,
at one point, "You are likely to hear from them wisdom
on the order of ..."  followed by words in quotes. 
Likely?  These are paraphrases at best; at worst,
they're made up of whole cloth, supposedly
representative.  You think it's fine, it's
journalistically sound, that he decided, I'll just
throw in "cat" and "man" and "baby" because that's the
way these negroes speak?
