Now if there is any way to infuriate a politician, it is to accuse him of playing politics-and when he heard of Humphrey's remark, Symington blew up. "You Don't Dare!"

Byrd has been at odds with every subsequent President. He considered Harry Truman just another big spender.

That approach failing, Mathews ordered a deputy to take down the names of all present in the church, so that he would know who in Terrell County was not happy. Afterward, as the Negroes walked out into the hot Southern night, Sitton heard a deputy remark: "We're going to get some of you." Said Sheriff Mathews: "We don't need no outside agitators in here. We want our colored people to stay just like they have been for the last 100 years-peaceful and happy. If they want to register to vote and they...
