...Senator from Mississippi, and spiritual leader of Southern resistance to school desegregation, this was a relatively restrained statement. In less temperate moments, Eastland has trumpeted the traditional Southern creed with a bluntness unsurpassed in the postwar U.S. From the floor of the U.S. Senate he has proclaimed his belief that "the Negro race is an inferior race," and has warned the nation that the white people of Mississippi will "maintain control of our own elections and . . . will protect and maintain white supremacy throughout eternity." He has denounced the Supreme Court decision banning racial segregation as "an illegal, immoral and sinful...
...deliberate speed" in the enforcement of the court's decision. In U.S. Grant and the American Military Tradition, Historian Bruce Catton says that "the Civil War . . . infinitely broadened the category of American citizenship and the meaning of the American experiment ... It had committed the nation to a working belief in the brotherhood of man. This probably was a little too much to swallow at one gulp in the 18703 or at any other time."

I think the women therefore must be concerned with these values, and I return to my statement that if a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right...
Curtice is equally vehement in his belief that spinning off two divisions would benefit neither the consumer nor the competition. If Oldsmobile, for example, were separated from G.M., it would automatically be shut off from the vast pool of centralized engineers, research, styling and production-line know-how that have pushed G.M. ahead. Its cars would soon be out of date and would cost more. Spun off from G.M., Olds would have little hope of competing with the rest of the industry...
