...showdown. And although Northerners find it hard to understand, this showdown will be far more important than any that have gone before. More than the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision or the spotty efforts to wipe out segregated schools that followed, the 1968 fight to give black children a decent education will determine the Negro's future in the South...
...Negro leaders in the South know all too well, this is a showdown that will pass virtually unnoticed in the North. Things have changed a lot since 1954. Then Northern families could see clearly-cut right and wrong. It wasn't hard to sense that the timid black children were right, and that the thick-necked Southern police were wrong...
Most Northerners find it hard to understand why school integration is so urgent a need in the South. Liberals might rosily dream of the day when all little children could grow up together to love and understand each other at integrated schools; and their main objection to segregated schools seems to be that the children aren't growing up to love and understand.

The ghost, Captain Gregg, is a crusty old salt (when he materializes), who scares people away from his beach house. Along comes Mrs. Muir, her two children and a Hazel-like housekeeper. After a couple of showdowns, Mrs. Muir decides that Captain Gregg is more bluff than gruff, and he concludes that a spiritual affair is better than nothing at all. The Muirs stay. Even for viewers who don't turn on to ghosts, especially...
