...Governor Almond, repealed the compulsory-attendance statute and earmarked three million dollars in scholarship aid for any parents who wished to transfer their students to private schools. Such a provision, though clearly different from Faubus' attempt to convert the public school system into a private school establishment, is nevertheless reproachable. The Arkansas scheme was struck down as a clear attempt to evade the desegregation of the Little Rock public schools; presumably the Supreme Court, in a broad interpretation, could rule similarly in the Virginia case...
...Nevertheless, the University continued to emphasize clean living and disclaimed any policies of athletic recruiting or favoritism. Coach Yovicsin repeated his pledge to play the games "within the Ivy League Code," which everyone interpreted as meaning another losing year for the Varsity.

Thomas' words sometimes cast a glow, a light never seen on land or sea, even on the murderers (though never on the murders); but it is Doctor Rock's reaction, in the scene where before a phantom audience he lectures on the dissection of the human conscience, that proves that melodrama can be used for purposes of poetry...
