...Trip South. The trail to the Mississippi swamp started on the serene, sycamore-shaded campus of the West ern College for Women at Oxford, Ohio. There, two weeks ago, an in doctrination course started for some 800 Northern college students who had volunteered to spend the summer in Mississippi working toward increased Negro voting registration. The project was sponsored by the Council of Federated Organizations (COFO), a combine of four civil rights organizations, and by the National Council of Churches...
...American folktale as any horse opera. To his admirers he is the very epitome of the Good Guy, fighting to make the U.S. fit for Decent Folks. To his critics he is the personification of the Bad Guy, shooting first and answering questions afterward.

Gamely Rockefeller submitted. He bought 29 ice cream sandwiches in a dime store for a trail of youngsters who followed him. To questions about his divorce and remarriage he replied: "I think that in life more people have problems in their own lives than others realize. And what we have to have the courage to do is to face those problems honestly inside ourselves." In a speech at the University...
