...Little, Too Soon. Sure enough. Within hours, two men were arrested by Wallace's troopers. One was a red neck truck driver named Robert E. Chambliss, 59, an incorporator of Alabama's Ku Klux Klan who was indicted, then acquitted, in 1949 for flogging a white man while masked. The other was Charles Cagle, 22, a laborer who was arrested last June for carrying a concealed weapon as he went to a Klan rally near Tuscaloosa. Later Wallace's police arrested Truck Driver John W.

Then Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo had well over 100 professors and administrators fired and replaced by his political supporters...
...root cause of why Arizona's Barry Goldwater was thus recently libeled is an intense left-right political split at Colorado that goes clear back to Ku Klux Klan attacks on the school in the '20s. On one side: the student Colorado Daily, a few Socialists, and most campus Democrats, who include President Newton and five of the six university regents. On the other side: Republicans (including the other regent), the Campus Conservative Club, and its hero, Edward Rozek, 42, a Harvard-trained political scientist, a much decorated Polish officer in World War II and a zealous antiCommunist...
