...welcomed the publication of John Rorer's article in Monday's CRIMSON. It was a refreshing example of pluralism, which is perhaps not so rare at Harvard after all. Some interesting insights into the mind of a Mississippian were provided, as well as into life in Mississippi. For instance, why was it so important to the white Mississippians that the COFO workers were "shabby" and "unclean"? Perhaps it was convenient for COFO's opponents, but I see no real significance, even in terms of "white standards." But it is possible that the COFO workers would have made more progress...

"They were driving Kathryn Kelly's 16-cylinder automobile and didn't waste much time in covering their tracks. A magazine detective could have followed them to Minneapolis.
