Near Berryville, plump apples were being pared, cored, cooked and canned in a spice-fragrant plant owned by Virginia's present-day political leader: U.S. Senator Harry Flood Byrd. And in Charlottesville, Mrs. Roger Boyle, the antisegregationist wife of a University of Virginia dramatics professor, sorrowfully displayed the charred remnants of a cross that had burned in her backyard because she had said what...
