...King George County, Virginia, flat, poor and sparsely settled, whites outnumber Negroes 2 to 1. As Virginia's constitution requires, education is "separate"; despite the U.S. Constitution, it is also unequal. King George High School (for whites only) is a modern, red brick building with central heating and inside toilets. King George Training School (for Negroes) is a frame building with stoves and outhouses. The white school taught chemistry, physics, biology, geometry and intermediate algebra; the Negro school had none of these subjects...

He was drafted in January...
...devoted there would be compensations. Talk about 'building bridges of understanding'! The Iron Curtain cuts off Russia and central Europe, but it has not yet been demonstrated that there is an Oriental Iron Curtain. Perhaps China is the one place on the globe where an imaginative church, with great experience of the land, could be a leaven able to penetrate the brittle hardtack of Communism...
