Walter and Joanne Parkin were one of the most popular young couples in the hamlet of Victor (pop. 275), a cluster of buildings along Route 12 about 40 miles south of Sacramento. Wally Parkin, 32, ran the local supermarket, giving credit to hard-up farm workers and even hiring some of the members of one family that could not pay its bills.

Parkin is a rough, laconic collier's son who can understand neither his own mean circumstances nor the sources of Connie's passion for him. Lawrence lacked Thomas Hardy's gift for making the inner lives...
...Regarding your cover story [Aug. 30] on civil rights, I think it is time somebody stood up for the poor, abused, white bigots. In pressing for their constitutional guarantees, the Negro community has every moral and legal right to sit-in, swim-in, wade-in, waitin, parkin, standin, lie-in and chain-in, but they have gone too far with the pray...
