Integration has been the aim of the Congress of Racial Equality since CORE was born in 1942. Its intramural squabbles have never been concerned with the principle of desegration but with its pace. Two years ago, Floyd McKissick replaced Founder James Farmer because he was not moving fast enough. Last week McKissick, in turn, was supplanted by a more aggressive lieutenant. CORE's new chief, however, advocates rigid separation of the races...
...factory quarters became so hostile to anti-Viet Nam demonstrators last winter that one was badly beaten, S.D.S. activists are trying to reconstruct workers with a missionary effort. Groups of students drop in on worker pubs, strike up conversations over checker matches, and gradually set up small groups that aim to determine their common anticapitalistic grievances.

But every once in a while, through the magic of ricochet and carom, they manage to do both with a single resounding shot. Such is the fate of this book. True Grit is a lean but plucky novel that has been sold to the movies for $300,000, serialized in the Saturday Evening Post and chosen as a Literary Guild selection. It is also gilded with literary quality that can delight book lovers as well as bookkeepers...
