...Governor himself works 13-hour days and also weekends, seemingly oblivious to the normal practices of Alabama politics. He had to be persuaded by aides to pose for his official photograph, and he even canceled a state-paid obituary clipping service, which enabled Wallace to send letters of condolence to the bereaved. James ambles around the statehouse in torn shirts and scuffed shoes. He shows a surprising lack of interest in publicity; last week he neglected to alert most of the statehouse press corps when he made a surprise visit to two prisons and chatted with inmates.

A priceless visual record of our immediate past has been lost, cut up or allowed to disintegrate in ill-tended vaults.
