First appearance: iii
As a supporting figure in Black No More, President Harold Goosie is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Appoints a commission to investigate Black-No-More, which produces a largely ignored report.
Goosie governs a country in which the old categories are dissolving faster than the law can name them, and he responds the way politicians do — by watching which way the crowd is moving. He is less a villain than a weather vane, surrounded by advisers who read the whitening of America as either a windfall or a catastrophe depending on their district. His administration's maneuvering over Black-No-More turns the novel's racial farce into an explicit comedy of American governance.
