...leasing the empty public schools to segregated-and state-subsidized-private schools. But it would be a long legal battle before such a scheme could ever work out. The school board tried to bridge the gap by starting TV classes. ("I wonder," snapped Presbyterian Minister T. B. Hay, "whether they will have a closed circuit for black faces.") Faubus even advanced the date of his referendum on segregated schools by one week to give the appearance of progress...
...private school tuition for all white students who objected to integration or whose schools had been closed. In Europe on Senate business, Harry Byrd received a copy of the Gray Plan by mail from his son Harry Jr. A sincere segregationist, Harry Byrd could also see the political hay to be made out of fighting for a lily-white Virginia. In that sense, the Gray Plan had a fatal flaw: in such liberal cities as Norfolk and Alexandria, local authorities might permit a few Negro children to sit in white classrooms...

But the credentials of the new buyer softened the blow. He is John Hay ("Jock") Whitney, financier, sportsman, diplomat, art collector, lifetime friend of the Reids and possessor of more than $100 million. "We are happy about it," said Brownie Reid, his arm around his mother. "I think it is a fine step," said...
