During the 1960s, most white Mississippi liberals were united only by their silence. To be sure, there were some "festering sores of liberalism," as one orator noted: Hodding Carter and Hodding Carter III, Patricia Derian, Kenneth Dean, Hazel Brannon Smith, James Silver, to name a few. But most whites who opposed Mississippi's state of madness were silenced by their fear of social and economic pressure and the very real threat of violence at the hands of racist monomaniacs...
With his shag-style haircut and aquiline nose, 24-year-old Lutz looks like a cross between Actress Jane Fonda and former Baseball Swinger Ken ("The Hawk") Harrelson. His hazel eyes are as adept at staring soulfully at a pretty girl across a crowded room as they are at following a speeding ball across a net.

His conquests were many. Some, like Yvette and his former-beauty-queen secretary, Corinne Huff, were even put on his staff payroll and paid $20,000 a year. In 1963 Mrs. Esther James, a Harlem widow, won a $46,500 defamation judgment against Powell, who on TV called her a "bag woman" for gambling payoffs. For nearly five years he managed to avoid payment, partly by staying...
