...newspaper ran the angry series that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Reporter Ray Sprigle wrote after four weeks of touring the "Land of Jim Crow." Admittedly onesided, his stories of segregation, discrimination and degradation (TIME, Aug. 16) made the South look bad. Last week, the South's side was heard from.
