...field marshal for the Meredith Mississippi march and the march from Selma to Montgomery, as well as last week's march to Atlanta. TIME Correspondent Peter Range kept pace with him for a time last week as Williams bitterly talked about the events at Augusta, Ga., and Jackson, Miss., and the mood of the civil rights movement in their wake...
Reverberations of the gunfire that killed four students at Kent State still hung in the air last week. In quick succession in two Southern cities, eight blacks were killed by policemen.

Her rules for playing it are inventive, to say the least.
