...towel of surrender" by integrating their schools, paints a lurid picture of integration in Washington, where "it was necessary to station policemen in the halls and corridors of their public schools, and even this action did not prevent rape, beatings and muggings." Although Sanders himself is a segregationist, Griffin calls him "a puppet and an amanuensis and a handmaiden of Martin Luther King...
...first time since he became Governor in 1955, Arkansas' Orval Faubus went sleepless on election night. Seeking a fifth two-year term, Faubus faced five opponents in the Democratic primary. Observers thought the vote would be tight, and many had visions of a runoff election against Segregationist Congressman Dale Alford or moderate ex-Governor Sid McMath. As it turned out, Faubus could have stood in bed: he pulled in about 52% of the votes, more than the combined total won by Alford, McMath and three other also-rans.

Caught between the two, Faubus shrewdly decided to chuck segregation as a dead issue, concentrate instead...
...Captive. By sensing the shift in the political winds and following it, Faubus has brought down the wrath of his old segregationist allies. "The people are beginning to realize that Governor Faubus simply used the integration question." says Mrs. Pat House, president of Little Rock's Women's Emergency Committee for public schools, "and now that it's no longer politically useful, he's not going to carry their banner." Says former Citizens Council President Dr. Malcolm Taylor: "He turned his back on greatness. No longer will we thrill to the tirades of a toothless tiger...
