Amid the controversy and chaos, it was easy to lose sight of the central point: voting rights. But that was what Selma, Alabama, was all about...
...leading him from law school through the attorney general's office to become, in 1952, at the age of 34, West Virginia's youngest Governor in history. Four years later, he ran for the Senate but was defeated-and then William C. Marland dropped from public sight. Last week he held a brief press conference in Chicago. A reporter had spotted him behind the wheel of a taxi, making $70 a week.

In places it is so wide that a steamer sailing up the middle cannot keep both banks in sight. Even 800 miles inland, dolphins arch through its surface and cormorants skim its waves. For Author Ogburn, the River Sea is both setting and protagonist for a rousing, sprawling, splendidly old-fashioned story of high adventure and romantic idealism...
