In direct contrast, staking his hopes on the future rather than anchoring his peeves on the past, was Montgomery, Ala.'s soft-spoken Pastor Martin Luther King (TIME, Feb. 18). Gist of the Rev. King's eloquent plea to the White House and Congress: "Give us the ballot and we will no longer have to worry the Federal Government about our basic rights . . . We will quietly and nonviolently, without rancor or bitterness, implement the Supreme Court's decision...
