...Jack Nelson of the Los Angeles Times or Jack Bass of the Charlotte (N.C.) Observer. Both reporters are experienced muckrakers, but in their book The Orangeburg Massacre (World; $7.95), published this week, Nelson and Bass find no heroes and no villains. In documentary prose, they spin out the entangling web of frustration, resentment and misunderstanding that began with an attempt to integrate a white bowling alley...

But the role of the guileless cowboy caught in a web of goodnatured immorality is as much a part of the Stewart myth as the tremulous, pleasantly nasal accent that has made him the world's most imitated actor this side of James Cagney...
