...dean of students at the institute and president of the Tuskegee Civic Association, lay out a strategy for fighting back without violence. "We will buy goods and services only from those who will recognize us as first-class citizens." Then, sounding a note reminiscent of Montgomery's Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Gomillion cautioned: "Please refrain from boasting, betting or accepting bribes. Soon the time will come when they [the whites] will have to respect us. They may hate our guts, but they will respect us. We can hold out longer than they. We can form our own businesses...
...fact," says the Rev. Gustave Weigel, S.J., professor of ecclesiology at Maryland's Woodstock College, "that in the United States, where the Catholics form something between a fifth [and] a third of the population, the proportion of Catholics in American scholarship is nowhere near the overall figure."

In a representative sample of 37 of the city's 1;7OO Protestant churches, three churches report a total of eight new members, two report a slight increase in attendance...
David Pressman's direction was adequate, though he let some of the cast pace their lines too slowly; and there were other signs of insufficient rehearsal time. E. G. Marshall, as the Rev. Anderson, gave us another example of his skill in a character-type role. Felicia Montealegre, as his wife, did her captivating best with an absurdly implausible role. Kevin McCarthy was exuberantly athletic and flery in the leading role of the brash and blasphemous wayward son Dick Dudgeon. Martyn Green relished his brief appearance in act three as the sly General Burgoyne; and Muriel Berkson, Edward Finnegan...
