...cowboy Wayne would defer self-knowledge for moral achievement and devote his life to justice for the very local folk from whom he is hopelessly estranged. He is one who has managed to translate his alienation into a noble life style. He is our existential hero who dares to burst out of his lifeless anonymity and assert his ideals in that longed-for reality of time and place. The Wayne cowboy is the us who happen...
...astounded at the results of your Harris poll on the Kennedy affair [Aug. 8]. If 68% of the people of this country condone Kennedy's actions in connection with the recent accident, then we are in real trouble-because our moral standards have completely decayed. If this individual was physically capable of walking back to the party, he surely was physically capable of going to the nearest residence to summon professional help.

...Moral Sense. As a Negro convict in Mississippi, Arthur could look forward to little more than sympathy, and not much of that. But the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, composed mostly of young attorneys from the North, brought a damage suit in the U.S. District Court in Greenwood. They did not bother to serve a summons on Williams, who by then was out of prison and living in Chicago. Instead, they served ten white officials, including Leflore County Sheriff John Arterbury, superintendent of the prison farm at the time of the shooting...
