While Gray and Maddox battled for the racist vote, Arnall and State Senator Jimmy Carter split the moderate support. Carter possesses all the boyish charm and warmth that Arnall so desperately lacks, but until the last two weeks of the campaign, Carter struggled against the damning popular assumption that he was too little known on a statewide basis.

As a nod to custom, death in the last reel redeems...
