...candidates who crisscrossed North Carolina from the Tennessee border to the Atlantic in pursuit of the Democratic nomination for Governor were at opposite poles on the issue of race relations. Stocky former State Senator Terry Sanford, 42, had led a field of four in the first primary last month by soft-pedaling his own segregationist sympathies, pushing instead an ambitious program of building schools and luring industry.

But Cornell's Coach Sanford is just beginning to develop his young bunch. Said he: "We still have to learn how to sprint. I'm positive this crew of mine is far from its peak...
...life by a monster of a mother (Mildred Dunnock) who intends to keep her son if she has to kill him to do it (she hires the incompetent lawyer so she can run the defense as she sees fit). On top of everything else, the state's attorney (Sanford Meisner) proves to be the sort of leering, sneering villain who turns prosecution into persecution...
