...same blaring tone pervades the rest of the state's hospitality. Guides at the state capitol in Montgomery pointedly ask visitors, 'How do y'll lahk our state?" Correct answers may win handshakes with Governer Brewer ("he ain't a Wallace, but he's a good man") or small "Wallace in 68" buttons. In gas stations and greasy cafes all over the state, the same ritual goes one. "You from out of state? What y'll doin' round here? How you lahk it here?" The ritual has an important purpose: about half the people who come to Alabama are Southern...
...level and of the course of the war it self. Clifford issued his denial of Laird's statement only at the President's orders. Pentagon officers naturally supported the Defense Secretary's statements.

Stendahl, for his part deciding that he would "rather be wise and sensitive than clear," remained neutral during the sanctuary. It is Stendahl's first year as dean of the Divinity School, and he was certainly correct to avoid a rash statement of policy--whether favorable or unfavorable to the sanctuary. By doing so, he would have seemed emotional and impulsive and done a serious disservice to the Divinity School and to himself. Stendahl's single positive decision, to appoint a six-member faculty committee to serve as liaison with the students, was also correct...
