Just after President Kennedy sent troops to Ole Miss, his popularity, as measured by the Gallup poll, hit a low of 61%-with only 51% of Southerners approving his performance in office. Then came Cuba, and in its wake Kennedy's popularity has soared back to 74%, with a 14-point jump to 65% in the South...
Memories of Mississippi. Odds are that at least one of the Negro applicants, probably Gantt, will make it in time for spring semester in February. Is the prospect peace-or another Ole Miss mess?

It commended Mississippi's state cops for "dedicated action." The encirclement of the Ole Miss administration building by marshals "was apparently done for the sole purpose of agitating and provoking violence,'' and Chief Marshal McShane's order to fire tear gas "was done for the purpose of inciting a riot." The jury then returned sealed indictments against two people. From the report, it was clear...
