...Southerners on the staff, the assignment had a personal meaning. Some had left the South to work in New York or in bureaus around the world, but, says Washington Correspondent Bonnie Angelo, a North Carolinian: "Southerners never really leave. There's always a cranny of their psyche that cherishes the soft-edged South...
Died. Benjamin M. McKelway, 80, editor of the Washington Star (1946-63); of kidney failure; in Washington, D.C. A soft-spoken North Carolinian, McKelway joined the Star as a reporter in 1921. As its editor he was a champion of civil rights, including the right of District of Columbia residents to vote. In 1957 he became the first non-publisher to be elected president of the Associated Press...

Conrack opened in New York a month ago. It received two pre-reviews. The New Yorker's Pauline Kael praised the freshness of the story: a young South Carolinian goes to isolated Yamacraw Island to teach illiterate black children. Kael loved the lustiness and poetic charm of the hero, Pat Conroy (known to his students as Conrack), who overcomes reactionary school officials and intransigent students and parents to give his class a sense of the world beyond Yamacraw--before he is fired. She dunned some of the film's simplifications but saluted its spirit. Stanley Kauffman in The New Republic...
