Cooper, white supremacist, decided that Tennessee's resentment over Little Rock will let him whip up a lively campaign before the Aug. 7 Democratic primary, started off by reminding voters that Albert Gore refused to sign the 1956 Congressional Southern Manifesto denouncing the Supreme Court's 1954 desegregation decision...

Harry Ashmore's telephone shrilled around the clock with threatening calls from agitators, who were fired by Governor Faubus' cry that Editor Ashmore was the worst of all possible culprits, "an ardent integrationist." Little Rock's white-supremacist Capital Citizens' Council (annual dues: $5) dubbed Ashmore "Public Enemy No. i."
