...city dweller, chewing tobacco is that atavistic lump in a baseball player's cheek. In Raleigh, Miss. (pop. 614), site of the National Tobacco Spitting Contest, it is sport and sociology, an art actively practiced and boasted about. Champions are finally selected, as they should be, in a tournament that feeds the folklore for another year. TIME Correspondent Peter Range joined the aficionados for the 16th annual national spit-off and sent this report...

But the Bick is open late...
...break apart the components of "the big lie." Pusey says we call Harvard hopelessly bigoted. This, as it intends, summons images of Birmingham. Alabama, and Sheriff Bull Conner spitting juice from his "Mail Pouch" chewing tobacco. And of course Pusey is right, Harvard does not look like that. It wears a coat and tie, and on a bread-based scale, is less reprehensible than some other forces in society. But racism is practiced here, in its liberal dress. A prime example is the issue of the painter's helpers...
